In commercial poultry farming, a hatchery, where eggs and chicks are found together in large numbers, must adhere to strict hygiene practices to avoid contamination and the spreading of disease.
The constant flow of eggs and chicks in hatcheries can, without proper hygiene practices, increase the risk of disease transfer anywhere in the poultry production chain.
Heightened awareness of the risks of bacterial transfer and cross-contamination in the hatchery meant the Microban antibacterial technology was the next logical step.
The incorporation of Microban into hatchery baskets delivers continuous antimicrobial protection from bacteria that can compromise embryo and day old chick development. As part of an overall hatchery hygiene strategy, the addition of Microban is a unique and highly effective means of combating cross-contamination for modern hatcheries.
Built-in during the manufacturing process, Microban protection is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial protection that will last the useful lifetime of the products and will not wear off or wash away, even after frequent cleaning.
