e-ggytizer

Automatic and chemical-free hatching egg sanitization with electron radiation

Safe, efficient and sustainable: the e-ggytizer sets new standards in hatching egg sanitization. Low-energy electron radiation is used to effectively reduce the bacterial load on hatching eggs. This leads to improved hatching rates, higher chick quality and lower chick mortality - without the use of chemicals!

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.
