EXPOSURE OF CHICKEN EGGS TO AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD PRIOR TO INCUBATION
Patricia Y. Hester, B.B. Bohren · 1978
White Leghorn eggs exposed to electromagnetic fields prior to incubation showed no effect on hatchability, body weight, or hatching time.
Plain English Summary
White Leghorn eggs were individually rolled through a magnetic coil for 3 seconds per egg before incubation. Hatchability percentages and chick body weights were measured at 90.5 and 21.5 days of incubation. The study found no effect of the EMF exposures on hatchability, body weight, or hatching time.
Finding
It was concluded that the levels of EMF energy utilized in these trials had no effect on hatchability percentages, body weight means, or hatching time.
In their words
“It was concluded that the levels of EMF energy utilized in these trials had no effect on hatchability percentages, body weight means, or hatching time.”
