SAFE

Innovative germ reduction with electricity

The e-ggytizer effectively reduces germs using low-energy electron radiation. Germ growth is prevented by inactivating the ability to reproduce. The germ load is reduced by up to 5 log10 levels using this innovative process. The dose and intensity of the energy input can be regulated and thus precisely controlled. This eliminates germs inside the eggshell. The inside of the egg remains protected during the process, as the electrons do not pass through the egg membrane.

Compared to conventional methods, the e-ggytizer offers a significantly higher disinfection performance. This reduces the number of infected hatching eggs and improves the incubator climate. In trials, the hatching rate increased by 1.65 percent compared to the control group. Overall, you benefit from improved animal welfare and lower mortality. Thanks to the significant reduction in germs, a reduction in antibiotics in rearing is possible. The innovative process is also suitable to produce clean eggs and SPF eggs, which are used to produce vaccines.

COST-EFFICIENT

Powerful hatching egg disinfection

The process of hatching egg sanitization can be fully automated with the e-ggytizer. The clever and robust design enables a sanitization capacity of up to 20,000 hatching eggs per hour. Only a power connection is required. There is no need for additional operating resources such as chemicals or their disposal.

The efficiency of the e-ggytizer is also increased by the higher hatching success. Compared to conventional methods, the hatchability rate increases by up to 1.65 percent. In a hatchery with 50 million chicks per year, this means an increase of almost 1 million chicks per year with the same amount of hatching eggs!

SUSTAINABLE

Chemical-free and resource-saving

Microbial contamination of hatching eggs can significantly reduce hatching success and thus cause costs in the millions of euros. In modern poultry farming, the sanitization of hatching eggs is therefore an indispensable part of hygiene management, ensuring not only the protection of the animals but also the quality of the end products. Hatching egg sanitization is required by law to prevent animal diseases.

Conventional sterilization methods are based on chemicals. For example, fumigation with formalin is a common method worldwide. Although the use of formaldehyde is effective, it is already banned in many countries due to potential health risks for chicks and employees. The same applies to other chemicals such as peracetic acid, chloramine T or hydrogen peroxide. Alternatively, UV or ozone treatments are used. However, due to lower penetration depths, neither method alone has sufficient sanitizing power.

The e-ggytizer not only offers a significantly higher sanitization performance than conventional methods. By completely dispensing with potentially hazardous chemicals, it also improves occupational safety for employees and protects the environment. This is because the fully shielded system impresses with its simple and absolutely safe handling without any consumables.
