Abstract
- Considering the need to develop strategies for dirty eggs incubation and the demand to use renewable methods of sanitation, the use of ultraviolet light for disinfecting hatching dirty eggs was the objective of this research. Eggs not disinfected (C-), disinfected with paraformaldehyde (C+) and exposed to different times of UV radiation (UV 3'30", UV 4'30" and UV 5'30") were tested. The eggs C(+) and those exposed to UV for 3'30" and 5'30" presented a significant reduction on the number of colonies of eggshells comparing to C(-), with a 0.64 to 1 logUFC/g variation. The treatments C(+), UV 3'30" and UV 5'30" were applied in an incubation phase. The hatchability of treatment UV 3'30" (70,51%) was superior to UV 5'30" (51,16%) and alike C(+) (55,81%). In conclusion, the treatment UV 3'30" is effective in reducing microbiologic contamination of dirty eggs and do not affect negatively hatchability and quality of chicks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
