| Abstract | ||||
| Investigations were made to determine the eff iciency of freshly slaked lime for controlling egg contaminants prior to incubation. Artificially infected eggs were treated with 2 different methods; slaked lime and fumigati on before incubation. The results of hatchabi lity as well as the viability of hatched chic ks were evaluated. It was found that treatment of eggs with the freshly slaked lime gave better results than using fumigation. The lowest p < /strong>ercentage of embryonic deaths and the highest percentages of hatchability and healthy chicks were assoc iated with the lime treated groups. Freshly slaked line proved to be a valuable cheap agent for using in hatcheries, to contr ol contamination troubles and to lessen hatc hing losses which may be met with other disin fectants. | ||||
