Benefits of the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™
The HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™ is an innovative technology that is changing the way people think about egg sanitization. This revolutionary process uses a combination of hydrogen peroxide & UV light exposure to eliminate all types of microorganisms found on eggshells.
Why Sanitize Eggs
Eggshell surfaces are naturally contaminated with bacteria, fungi, molds and yeasts. In some cases, these microorganisms can penetrate the shell and cause hatchability or chick quality issues. Elimination of these unwanted microorganisms before they penetrate the egg is important to improving hatchability and chick quality. Sanitization of eggs using the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™ has been scientifically proven to reduce the microbial load of the egg, resulting in improved overall hatchery sanitation and reducing the spread of pathogens in the poultry production system.
How the Process Works
Eggs pass through a spray chamber where they are lightly misted with a dilute solution of hydrogen peroxide. Next, the eggs pass through a UV light chamber. As the UV light interacts with the hydrogen peroxide on the shell surface, the hydrogen peroxide molecule is split and hydroxyl radicals are generated. These hydroxyls immediately react with any organic material present on the eggshell surface, including the cellular structure of unwanted microorganisms. Disruption of the microorganisms’ cellular structure results in elimination of these microorganisms.
Benefits of Sanitization
Sanitizing eggs with the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™ results in increased hatchability, improved chick quality at hatch, and decreased 7-day mortality. This is especially important with older breeder flocks where shell quality is reduced and contamination rates are increased. A reduction of unwanted microorganisms entering the hatchery on the eggs also results in an overall cleaner hatchery environment. Hatching more high quality chicks and improving overall hatchery cleanliness will result in greater profitability.
