I don’t know much about the beautiful rooster but the magnificent bull is a photograph of a wonderful painting by the South African artist Leigh Voigt from a book about the Zulu Nguni cattle, called The Abundant HerdsThe book is the result of the collaboration of scholars, researchers and writers over an extended period of time. The many paintings reproduced in the book are accurate depictions of the colour patterns of the cattle. I  once saw a similar bull in a herd of cattle in the green hills of  Zululand. Would love to go back for another look!

Effect on Hatchability with Pre Storage Incubation of Stored Eggs

Research showed that Pre Storage Incubation of eggs for 6 hours at 37.5 C could improve the hatchability from 70.5% to 79.0 % when stored at 11.5 C for 14 days. The results of this study provide evidence that embryos of eggs that have completed hypoblast formation (Pre Storage Incubation for 6 hours) and are stored for 14 days have a survival advantage over embryos of  that have not been subjected to any Pre Storage treatments.
