ABSTRACT
The fertile egg transport is a crucial issue in the Brazilian broiler aviculture chain. Therefore, many agents intrinsically connected to this process such as the mechanical vibrations, can jeopardize the integrity of this fragile load. Given to this threatening problem the aim of this research was to assess the quality of fertile eggs exposed to different simulated conditions of mechanical vibrations. A mechanical agitator was developed to reproduce the treatments of this study, which were formed by 2 vibration levels. An inferior (instantaneous acceleration, up to 5 m s-2) and a superior (instantaneous acceleration above 10 m/s2), in which they were applied in 2 exposition times, a minimum (60 minutes) and a maximum (180 minutes), making the treatments T1, T2, T3, T4. The assay was conducted in a random modeling in 4 complete blocks that represented the factorial repetitions 2 x 2 +1, with an additional treatment (control). In the total, 2016 eggs from the same batch of matrixes (Cobb-500) in the peak egg reproduction (32-35 weeks) were used. From these eggs, 1920 were exposed to the 4 factorial treatment vibrations (480 eggs per treatment), meanwhile, the remaining 96 were used as control treatment. Among the vibrated eggs, 96 per treatment were sampled in order to be analyzed. In addition, some factors were verified the diameter and the egg yolk height (EYD and EYH), the d
