Environmentally safe preparation and traditional disinfectant in incubation of eggs

Abstract

The paper presents the results of research on the development of zoohygienic measures aimed at improving the hatchability of eggs through the use of environmentally safe means and the study of the toxic effects of formaldehyde on the quality of hatching eggs. The research is relevant due to the negative changes in industrial poultry farming in recent years, which have been accompanied by a sharp deterioration in the quality of hatching eggs, a decrease in the hatching of conditioned chicks and their significant mortality during the rearing period. The use of the drug "Monclavit-1" as an antiseptic and disinfectant drug of broad spectrum and the study of formaldehyde toxicity in the treatment of hatching eggs is of scientific interest to improve the incubation quality of eggs. The work gives a comparative assessment of the use of formaldehyde for disinfection of hatching eggs and environmentally safe preparation "Monclavit-1". The data obtained and their analysis indicate that preincubation treatment with Monclavit-1 had a positive effect on the results of incubation. Eggs with blood ring in the control group were 0.9% more (p < 0.05), dead-in-shell eggs were 1.3% more (p < 0.05), and addle eggs were 2.0% more (p < 0.05) than in the experimental group. In addition, the rates of egg hatchability and hatchability of chicks when treated with Monclavit-1 were higher than those of the control by 3.1 and 4.4% (p< 0.05), respectively. Cost-effectiveness of the drug "Monclavit-1" use exceeded that of the control group by 17.3%. Production sanitation in the agro-industrial complex is one of the decisive factors in preserving and increasing the health of farm animals and obtaining biologically and environmentally safe products from them to meet the food needs of the population of the state.
