Eggs of geese represent the embryo at a certain stage of development with a stock of all necessary substrates for the development of the body. The composition of the eggs depends on the breed, age, conditions of keeping and feeding of geese.
_geese Eggs differ from chicken size, thickness and structure of the shell, the chemical composition of yolk and albumen, the length of the incubation period. Goose eggs 3 or more times heavier than the chicken. The thickness of the shell goose eggs on the average 0,55 mm..
_Goose eggs contain relatively less water than chicken, fat - more. This ability has developed in the evolution process. Geese are adapted to live and breed near water, where heating of the body need more warmth. Especially large demand for heat for heating of goslings in their time spent on the water in early postembryonic development. So the goose eggs and goslings the body more fat. This has implications for water exchange during incubation of goose eggs, as in the oxidation of fats a significant amount of water. Exchange water partially compensates for the loss of moisture by evaporation and to replenish its initial reserves in the egg and weakens the tension of water metabolism. The incubation period is the initial weight of goose eggs is reduced on average by 12-13%.
_Store goose hatching eggs should be at a temperature of 8-18 degrees and at a humidity of 75-80%. In the cold season chilled eggs you cannot add to a warm room, as they concentrated moisture. Unpack the eggs in a cool room or leave in the container for 3-4 hours, then sorted.
_For incubation, use eggs from clinically healthy birds, happy for infectious diseases.
