Abstract

In Ethiopia, Rhode Island Red (RIR) breed of chickens acclimatize very well to the existing production environment with fairly reasonable level of production. Unfortunately however, there is a serious complaint about the poor hatchability of their eggs. This study was conducted at Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center (DZARC) to study the effect of oil spraying and elevated Relative Humidity (RH) on hatchability of RIR eggs. Five treatments comprising of 80-85%RH, 80-85%RH plus oil spraying, 90%RH, 90%RH starting from 12th day of incubation and 90%RH during hatching were studied in CRD with four replications. The results obtained revealed that there was no statistically significant difference (P
