Egg sanitizer leaves no residue on surface

摘要

EVERY year, the U.S. poultry industry incubates about 9 billion eggs to hatch the chicks that will eventually become billions of pounds of meat, most of which will be consumed domestically, according to Dr. Craig Coufal, a Texas A&M AgriLife ExtensionService poultry specialist in College Station, Texas. Eggs destined to hatch into broiler chicks are not normally washed, Coufal said. Instead, producers have accepted 1% or more losses from bacteria entering the shell and causing the egg to become rotten, the embryo to abort or the chick to hatch malformed.
