194,365 data of muscovy eggs collected between 1997-1999 at the poultry Breeding Research and Development Institute, Prachinburi Province were analysed using Least Square Method to compare differences of means of hatchability due to breed, Parvovirus resistance and season. It was found that Kabinburi x Thapra crossbred (BP) had the highest conception rate followed by Thapra (PP), Kabinburi (BB) and Kabinburi line of Parvovirus resistance (BBR) respecitvely (P LT 0.05). BBR had the highest hatchability followed by BP, BB and PP (P LT 0.05). Hatchability was highest in winter follows by summer and rainy season (P LT 0.05). In winter, the mortality was lower and the hatchability was higher than those in summer and rainy season. Mortality and hatchability between summer and rainy season were not different.
