Abstract
Light pulses (PS) could be an effective tool to decontaminate and improve the hatching of incubated eggs.
So, this study assessed the role of PS during incubation in improving embryonic development and hatching
performance of Rhode Island Red chicken in relation to eggshell pigment. A total of 900 eggs were randomly
divided into three groups according to their eggshell pigmentation (light, medium and heavy) and incubated
with or without being exposed to PS. The exposure to PS significantly (p
