Following application of Ovopel, eggs were obtained from higher percentage of females than CPE treatment (92.5 and 75.0%, respectively. In the case of Ovopel stimulator, female weights were significantly correlated with living embryo (r = 0.576, p<0.01) and hatching rates (r = 0.684, p<0.01). Also interaction between egg weights and fertilization rates (r = 0.603, p<0.01) and between hatching and living embryo rates (r = 0.679, p<0.01) were determined significant. On the other hand, egg weights were negatively correlated (r = -0.368, p<0.05) with living embryo rates. For the CPE stimulator, egg weights were significantly correlated with fertilization (r = 0.662, p<0.01), living embryo (r = 0.390, p<0.05) and hatching rates (r = 0.443, p<0.01). Also hatching were significantly correlated with fertilization (r = 0.665, p<0.01) and living embryo rates (r = 0.903, p<0.01). In addition, fertilization and living embryo rates significantly correlated (r = 0.615, p<0.01) with each other. ER -
