Topic: Incubation time


In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
  Incubation Time
Since, in general, birds do not begin incubating until the clutch is complete, "incubation time" is defined as the period from the laying of the last egg of the clutch until that egg hatches (or, if individual eggs can't be identified, from the last egg laid to the first egg hatched).
Incubation time is roughly correlated with the weight of the egg.
Data to be gathered include who incubates (and if both parents do, how the load is shared), the proportion of time the eggs are covered in different kinds of weather, egg turning frequency, and elapsed time from laying to hatching.

 Incubation and Hatching of Ratites   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Incubation time (i.e., time from set to hatch) often is an indicator of incubation temperature.
The time in the oviduct and the conditions therein, the post-oviposition/pre-incubation holding time and environment, the health and nutrition of the breeders, the structure and content of the egg itself, and the environment in the incubator and hatcher all affect the successful development of the fertilized ovum.
The time required for the incubation process is determined by the genetic constitution of the species and modified by strain and individual differences, the egg structure, and various aspects of the environments to which the egg is exposed.

 G8353 Incubation of Poultry, MU Extension
Incubation procedures for other common farm poultry species such as turkeys and waterfowl are similar to those for chickens; however, there are differences in incubation times and optimum conditions.
Incubation time may vary according to temperature of weather and incubator, size of egg, fertility of egg and vigor of the embryo, and a host of other factors.
Mortality during the last three days of incubation may be the result of an accumulation of factors that weaken chicks to the point that they cannot survive the normal rigors of the hatching process.

 CDC - Estimating Time and Size of Bioterror Attack
The incubation time distribution for anthrax has been estimated by Brookmeyer and colleagues on the basis of the Swerdlovsk outbreak (4); data describing the incubation distribution for smallpox are summarized by Fenner et al.
Similarly, the estimates for the time of the attack improve from 1.1 days before the first case (estimated after day 1 of the outbreak) to 1.8 days before the first case is observed; the true time of attack is 1.8 days before the first case observed in the simulated outbreak (Figure 1).
Given estimates of the initial size and time of attack, one can forecast the occurrence of future cases over time, as shown in Figure 1 (solid curve), where the forecast is made on the basis of cases observed through the end of day 5 after the first case was observed.

 Effects of incubation time and sodium sulfite upon in-vitro digestibility estimates and sample filtering time by Jay ...
We conducted 2 experiments to quantify the effects of incubation time, filtering method, forage type, and associated interactions on the precision and accuracy of in-vitro digestibility as estimates of in-vivo digestibility.
Experiment I used 10 incubation times and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L.), prairie grass, and wheat straw (Triticum aestivum L.) hays to determine whether a single incubation time should be employed to estimate digestibility of a variety of forages.
Results of this study confirm previous observations that a single incubation period should not be used to estimate in-vivo digestibility.

 Q fever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was first described by E.H. Derrick in abattoir workers in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as a disease of unknown origin and therefore “query fever”.
In 1937 the bacterium was isolated by F.M. Burnet and Freeman from one of Derrick’s patients for the first time and identified as Rickettsia-species.
H.R. Cox and Davis isolated the pathogen from ticks in Montana, USA in 1938, described the transmission and it was officially named Coxiella burnetii the same year.

 Biophysical Journal: Theoretical modeling of prion disease incubation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Understanding the factors which regulate the incubation times for infectious prion diseases is important for assessing the risk of illness after potential exposure as well as for developing treatments which can delay disease onset.
The incubation times can run into years and decades (Prusiner et al., 1982), and yet, at the laboratory scale have been found to be highly reproducible.
As the dose of infection is increased in the laboratory, the incubation times become sharply defined and saturate to a dose-independent value.

 Incubation time does not mean idle time
The incubation time of a virus refers to the time between individuals contracting the virus and when they start showing physical signs of infection.
To measure whether a model's inclusion of latency and incubation times will influence population behaviour at steady state, comparisons are made between susceptibility phase plots.
Incubators behave in the same manner as Infectives, hence increasing the total number of contacts between Susceptibles and Infectives.

 Incubation: Heating Egg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A unique form of incubation is found in the turkey-like megapodes of Australia.
Killdeer and some other shorebirds soak the feathers of their bellies and use them to wet the eggs before shading, thus helping to cool the developing embryos by evaporative heat loss.
Eggs cool when incubation is interrupted, but this is not usually harmful, and few birds incubate continuously.

Incubation time for AIDS from French transfusion-associated cases.
Although incubation time is a key parameter of the epidemiology of AIDS, statistical estimates based on transfusion-associated AIDS cases have, up to now, used only the single dataset provided by the AIDS program of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.
The previously encountered problem of very large confidence intervals (range larger than 100 years), is not observed, indicating that an accurate estimate for mean incubation time will be obtainable in the near future.

It is also in agreement with the majority of information, but it is true that I have read much shorter incubation times for C. magnificus, too.
I see two possibilities for this: Either 4 weeks was an ASSUMPTION from an author (taking in account incubation times of 'similar' species, for example C. fulminantis which has indeed a much shorter incubation time) which was later quoted from others as a FACT.
I would never consider it as impossible but due to my experience, C. magnificus has a rather long incubation time and I think that the eggs should be stored at elevated temperature.

In this study we found that in the second half of its incubation time, the chick embryo is a feasible animal for perinatal cardiovascular research in that determining CO distribution in normoxia, hypoxia and after reoxygenation using fluorescent microspheres is possible.
During incubation the concentrations in the air cell of the egg of both oxygen and carbon dioxide change.
The observed redistribution of the CO in reponse to hypoxia is not significant at 10-13 day incubation time but develops during the last third of incubation.

It was not the first time that animal electricity was discussed (see the torpedo fish), but it was the first time that animal's reactions and natural or man-made electricity were connected.
Other important improvements were introduced later like the introduction of "depolarizing" additives to the electrolyte, in order to reduce gas bubbles and sources of overpotential at the electrodes, or the development of gel electrolytes, to avoid the spilling of electrolyte from the moistened separators.
An even longer time had to pass before the electrode overpotential could be explained in the frame of a theory on electrochemical reaction kinetics.

Longer incubation times can be observed for the so called "resting eggs" which have not sufficiently been exposed to oxygen, water (droplets) and high temperatures.
Please avoid shortening the incubation time of a species by reducing the eggs' natural dormancy period, as over several generations this might result in fish out of tune with weather conditions prevailing in their natural habitat (drought more frequent than not).
