THE USE OF THE DRUG «JODЕS» TO REDUCE BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION OF EGGS

In conditions of modern industrial poultry eggs are often contaminated with enteropathogens, on the surface of the shell there are such microbes as Salmonella, staphylococci and streptococci, intestinal and Pseudomonas aeruginosa sticks, Proteus, fungi, etc. Most industrial poultry farms are integrated enterprises operating on the principle of «vertical communication», which is characterized by significant concentration of poultry in limited areas, this in turn leads to sharp increasing of number of microorganisms on the egg surface, as well as an increase of their pathogenicity. The search for new effective and cost-safe drugs that meet all modern requirements is an actual and economically justified scientific direction. The aim of the present research was to develop effective modes and technologies of disinfection of eggs shell surface by preparation «Jodеs». As a result of the conducted research, high contamination of the shell by microflora, including CGB and mold fungi, was established. The regimes and technology of disinfection of eggs using the disinfectant «Jodеs» in 1% concentration were developed: with small – scale irrigation (wet disinfection method) – exposure for 3 hours; and full immersion for few seconds. It is established that the drug «Jodеs» in 1% concentration effectively sanitize the surface of the shell. Using this drug and compliance with its application can achieve protection of poultry from unwanted microflora.
