Broiler Breeder Egg Quality and Hatchability Data with Propolis Supplementation

168.3 KB of raw data on maternal antibody levels, fertility, and egg quality from broiler breeder hens. Data were collected from control and propolis-supplemented groups under identical management conditions. The dataset was authored by Kalbiye Konanç and last updated on June 1, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare fertility and hatchability rates between control and supplemented groups.
• Analyze the relationship between dietary propolis extract and eggshell quality defects.
• Model the effect of supplementation on internal egg quality characteristics like Haugh unit and shape index.
• Assess the impact of propolis on maternal antibody transfer to chicks.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple key poultry science variables: maternal antibody, fertility rate, hatchability, and several egg quality parameters.
• Contains a direct comparison between a control group and a propolis-supplemented group managed under identical conditions.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small at 168.3 KB, indicating a limited scope or sample size.
