Nutrição inovo e sua importância para a qualidade do pintinho de um dia

Abstract

Poultry farming in Brazil plays a crucial role in the country's economy, both domestically and globally, and contributes to socioeconomic development. Broiler production has been one of the main factors that have positioned Brazil as a leader in food production and considering that the quality of day-old chicks is fundamental for the success of poultry production care in the initial phase is essential for success. Efficient management of the incubation process, from egg selection to process monitoring, is important to ensure chick quality. In this way, the objective of this bibliographical review was to discuss in ovo nutrition, the main nutrients used and their importance for the embryonic development of the 1-day-old chick. The egg contains essential nutrients for the embryo, such as proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins, but the size of the egg and its composition influence the weight of the chick at hatch. Selecting eggs based on size, especially albumen size, is important to ensure chick quality. The in ovo nutrition technique consists of injecting exogenous nutrients into incubated eggs, stimulating embryonic development and improving the immune response. This technique contributes to the increase in the weight of the chick at birth na improvers the performance and quality of the carcass.
