Hatching Egg Tips
“The performance of a hatchery and the quality of a day-old chick are directly related to the quality of the raw material that comes into a hatchery, the fertile egg.” Click the link below to read about the importance of providing clean eggs to hatcheries. https://www.cobb-vantress.com/academy/articles/article/academy/2016/04/04/the-importance-of-providing-clean-eggs
Please find attached an Antibiotic Use Survey that was developed to understand broiler hatching egg farmers’ antibiotic use and allow CHEP, and its farmers, to be prepared for changes that may be forthcoming relating to the use of antibiotics. This survey is in response to the current path being taken by the poultry industry and mimics surveillance activities taking place in other commodities. The individual results from the survey will be kept confidential within CHEP and will only be distributed more widely on a provincial and national basis.
Instructions: Please include all antibiotics that were administered to your flock via feed and/or water from day 1 of age until the flock was sent to processing or removed from your barn. If someone grows your pullets/cockerels, the information for this survey should be obtained from the pullet/cockerel grower. All the information requested should be included on feed scripts, veterinary prescriptions or drug container labels. If you are unsure if any antibiotics are included in your feed or medication, please contact your feed supplier or veterinarian to provide the information. Additionally, a list of antimicrobials are attached in Appendix A.
The survey is intended to collect information on all antibiotic use (in feed and in water) for the entire life of each flock. Please complete the survey concerning each of your flocks individually as well as the following information for each antibiotic used: name of drug; date the medication was first and last administered; the number of birds medicated; route of administration (feed or water); reason for use; inclusion rate of the medication that was given (mg/kg, ppm, g/tonne, kg/tonne, g/kg, etc.); and the total amount of antibiotics administered. If a medication is administered more than once in a flock or if more than one medication is administered at the same time or if the inclusion rate was modified during the administration period, a separate row must be used.

This comprehensive course has been developed for hatching egg producers and their employees. Based on real-world best practices used on farms across Canada, this simple, practical training package ensures that even the busiest farms can successfully train their workers quickly and with no down-time. This course was developed in consultation with hatching egg producers and industry experts across Canada. The training is based on National Occupational Standards, which are national employee benchmarks that define the knowledge and behaviours required for job success. The modules cover important broiler hatching egg basics such as egg and chick quality, feed, lighting, flock health, and flock uniformity. You will learn why these practices are important, and how they fit with your day-to-day tasks.
