Both commercial eggs and fertile eggs contain contaminants in the outer area of the shell and these will influence the shelf life at sales outlets or hatchability in hatcheries.
Among the most common contaminants are bacteria and fungi and also some viruses. Once inside the eggs, these microorganisms will cause rot and, in the case of fertile eggs, reduce hatching.
Organisms of the Mycoplasma and Salmonella genera should be especially observed as they have a stricter control and have mandatory notification. The disinfection of eggs is, due to these factors, extremely important, either to reduce the loss of “spoiled” eggs (bacteria and fungi) for commercial eggs or to reduce losses related to low hatching; embryonic mortality or even contaminated chicks that will serve as a source of infection on the farm where they are housed.
The most important points to be observed for the proper disinfection process are the performance of the sanitizers used, the compatibility between the materials, their action against organic matter, temperature, application time and correct training of the personnel thinking about this market niche, Attuale Brasil innovates and brings high disinfection equipment that will help you a lot to reduce your production loss.
