The Effects of Different Formaldehyde Fumigation for Broiler Hatching Eggs on Hatching Results

Abstract

In this study, different concentrations of formaldehyde fumigation to broiler hatching eggs effects on hatching results were investigated. In the experiment, 1000 broiler hatching eggs were used. Formaldehyde fumigation treatments for the disinfection of hatching eggs in the study 1. for formaldehyde group; 3x: 42 ml formalin (40%) + 21 g potassium permanganate for 1m3, 2. for the formaldehyde group; 4x: It has been planned as 56 ml formalin (40%) + 28 g potassium permanganate for 1 m3. At the end of the study, increasing the formaldehyde fumigation level decreased the hatching performance and increased the late period mortality rate.
