Study of the air environment the incubation shop
Currently, most poultry farms operate, but in a closed technological cycle, i.e. from incubating chickens to slaughtering adult poultry. Therefore, based on the presence in a limited area of specialized poultry enterprises of birds of different ages, there are special requirements to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by aerogenic means. The results of the study of dust and microbial contamination of the air environment of the production premises of the incubation workshops at the Chebarkul poultry farm of the Chelyabinsk region and at Progress LLC in the Tyumen region are presented. It was found that the concentration of dust (r ≥ 1 μm) at the inlet of the incubator is 2.38 times higher than at the hood. This can be explained by the fact that the bulk of the particles are deposited both on the inner surface of the cabinet and on the surface of the eggs. To ensure that the air environment of the incubation workshop and the incubation cabinet meets the MPC requirements, it is necessary to clean and ozonize the air at the inflow of the incubation cabinet, clean the air in the room for receiving and storing eggs, and cleaning the supply air.
