Abstract | ||||
The sanitizing effect of spraying with 1% Aldekol GDA (glutaraldehyde-quaternaries ammonium combination) compound on bacterial count of egg shell and 5-day-old embryonted chicken eggs infected with Sal. Typhimurium, Proteus mirabilis and Staph. Aureus was studied. The results revealed that there were decreasing in total bacterial count on egg-shell and an improvement in the rate of hatchability after using this sanitizer. In a field trial, Aldekol GDA minimized the bac- terial contamination and the total bacterial count in both hatching eggs and newly hatched chicks. Obtained results proved the safty of this com- pound in controlling bacterial contamination and shell penetration with these pathogenic bacteria. | ||||
