Abstract :The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of in ovo resveratrol in hatching quail eggs on hatching traits, organ weights and chick performance. The eggs were randomly distributed into four groups as non-injected group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PC; Positive control);, 0.2 ml saline insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NC; Negative control);, 0.2 ml solution containing 1 nmol of resveratrol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R1); and 0.2 ml solution containing 4 nmol of resveratrol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R4);. Hatchability of set eggs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HSE); and hatchability of fertile eggs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HFE);, embryonic mortality insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EM);, chick hatching time, yolk sac weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(YSW);, and chick performance characteristics were investigated. The effects of in ovo resveratrol administration on the HSE were insignificant. HFE decreased significantly with in ovo resveratrol treatment. All injected groups were adversely affected in terms of embryonic deaths. The effect of in ovo resveratrol application on chick hatch weight, and YSW insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(g, %);, chick performance was insignificant. It was observed that in ovo resveratrol treatment had no significant effect on the hatching time, except at 408 h of incubation. As a result, in ovo resveratrol application had a negative effect on hatchability and EM, but did not have affected the hatching time, YSW and chick performance.
