The aim of this study was to compare the incubation systems in multiple stage and single stage, by evaluating the performance of the incubation process and the production performance of broilers originated from embryonated eggs incubated in the both systems. To evaluate the yield of incubation five experiments were performed, using eggs of Cobb broiler breeders. Each test was divided into two phases. In the first experimental phase, eggs weight, chicks weight, residual yolk weight, length and quality score of the chicks were analyzed using randomized block design with two treatments (single stage and multiple stage), and with blocks being each experimental trial. In each test, 140 eggs and all the chicks borned from those eggs from each treatment were assessed (experimental unit). In the second phase of the trial, a total of 25.360 eggs and was incubated and spread on trays for analysis of hatchability, hatch window, birth distribution and embryo diagnosis. For hatchability data and hatch window, a randomized block design in a 2x3 factorial arrangement (two incubation systems and three positions of the trays into the incubation machine) was used. The repetitions were composed by the trays, totaling 285. For the results of embryo diagnosis all unhatched eggs from 285 selected trays were evaluated. The productive performance was evaluated until 35 days of age by means of a completely randomized 2x2 factorial arrangement (chicks from two stages of incubation and both sexes), with six replicates. Each experimental unit consisted of 25 birds, totaling 600 birds. We concluded that incubation of fertile eggs from Cobb 500 broiler breeders in single stage machines enables to obtain better productivity of the hatchery than incubation in multiple stage machines, as a result of higher hatchability and better neonate quality. The productive performance of broiler up to 35 days of age was not affected by the type of machine used for incubation.
