The Effects of Different Disinfection Having Different Compounds of Quail Eggs on Hatching Results and Subsequent Two Weeks Chicks Performances

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of antimicrobial thymol, ethyl alcohol solution, the redox potential low water, sodium bicarbonate and formaldehyde fumigation on hatching results and their 2 weeks fattening period in quails. In this study, the eggs were obtained from 18 weeks old breeding quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) eggs (1630 eggs). Before incubation, eggs were randomly divided into 5 groups and each group consisted of 326 eggs. In the first treatment group; thymol, the second treatment group, ethyl alcohol solution, the third treatment group, the lower redox potential group of water, the fourth treatment group, sodium percarbonate and the fifth treatment group; were treated with formaldehyde fumigation(3X) . From the first day to end of 15 day, of incubation, all eggs were incubated in the same incubator at 37.5 ° C and 55 % RH. At transfer, all eggs were transferred to the same incubator regarding their groups and incubated at 37.2 ° C and 75% relative humidity for last three days of incubation. After determining the number of chicks in groups, the unhatched eggs were analyzed for further examination. After hatching, totally 500 mixed-sex chicks consisting of 100 chicks from each group were moved to research farm to determine the effect disinfectants on2 weeks chick performances which all chicks were raised in the standard growth condition in battery cages. The current dosage of thymol, had an adverse effect on hatching results among the disinfectant. No differences were found of treatment groups on chicks performance (P 0.05).
