Washing Fertilized Eggs

Washing fertilized eggs has been a no no within the poultry industry for years. Common thought within the industry was that exposing an egg to water could contaminate the egg. Not only was this a concern so was the thought that if you used the wrong product to wash the egg you could clog the pores of the egg. Eggs need to breath and preventing this could cause damage to the embryo. With PronTech you no longer have to fear either of these scenarios. PronTech cleans and sanitizes the egg shell while not leaving behind any build up or thick film. Clean eggs mean a clean hatchery. That means you have less egg explosions in your setters, you have less disease outbreaks due to contamination from the farm, and more of your fertile eggs get to be placed in your setters. Using PronTech to treat your eggs is a your smart and safe choice.
