Scientists have proposed how to determine how much “chemistry” is in an egg

To do this, just weigh it before and after spraying.

An express method for determining the amount of solutions of biologically active substances that enter the egg during processing is being developed by scientists from the All-Russian State Center for Quality and Standardization of Medicines for Animals and Feed under the Rosselkhoznadzor.

To date, chemists have proven the usefulness of spraying with biologically active substances the eggs of almost all birds that are bred on our farms: egg and meat chickens, quails, turkeys and guinea fowls. On critical days for the development of embryos, various biologically active substances are sprayed in incubators. As a result, this has a positive effect on the hatched chicks. Babies are noticeably healthier than their peers, they gain weight faster, and when they grow up, they rush better.

In this way, you can not only “feed” the embryos, but also vaccinate them. At the same time, production veterinarians, hatchery workers, as well as farm specialists ask a reasonable question: how much solution of a particular biostimulant or vaccine is needed to process a batch of eggs and how much of this amount will end up in the egg?

As it became known to MK, the express method developed by the specialists of the center consists in the fact that the eggs are weighed one at a time before spraying, and then they are processed at a solution temperature of 18-22ºС. After the shell has dried, each egg must be weighed again. The difference between the mass of the egg before and after spraying will be the desired value.
