Effect of intermittent incubation and clutch covering on the probability of bacterial trans-shell infection

Original language description

Microbial infection is considered a critical cause of hatching failure in birds. Although several behavioural mechanisms are believed to improve reproductive success in birds, their direct effect on the risk of bacterial trans-shell infection (BTSI) remains to be tested. Here, we focus on the protective roles of intermittent incubation and covering of the clutch with nest lining during the laying period, when eggs are highly susceptible to BTSI. To our knowledge, this study is the first to use culture-independent PCR-based methods to measure quantitative and qualitative indices of BTSI. In our experiment, we exposed Mallard Anas platyrhynchos eggs that were either intermittently incubated (I-INCUB) or un-incubated (I-UNINCUB), and covered (COV) or uncovered (UNCOV) with nest lining. Hatchability of I-INCUB eggs was twice that for I-UNINCUB eggs. The presence and degree of BTSI had no effect on hatching success of experimental eggs. The residual weights of ducklings hatched from infecte
