Abstract

Sanitary treatment of the hatching eggs in the modern poultry production facilities has the meaning of the prophylactic disinfection of the eggs previously selected and treated according to the clearly established sequence of the technological treatments. Numerous researches are conducted worldwide aiming to discover new, alternative means, that would maintain indisputable positive effects of formalin and formaldehyde but which would be free of the above-mentioned negative characteristics and the use of which would not be detrimental to the humans’ health. In our research, three different sanitary treatments were used: the formaldehyde steam, the ultraviolet rays and the combination of the ultraviolet rays with the negative ions.
The best hatching rate of 79,73%, was recorded in the combined treatment, average rate of 74,14% after the application of the U.V. rays and the worst rate of 70,52% after the formaldehyde fumigation. Combined treatment of the hatching eggs with the ultraviolet rays and the negative ions has the most favorable expenditure structure for the price forming for the hatching eggs and one-day broiler chicken. Especially encouraging is that the combined use of the ultraviolet rays and negative ions as a possible substitution for formaldehyde fumigation proved to be economically and otherwise justified. The most important aspect is the significant risk decrease for humans’ health and indisputable hygienic and technological advantages.
