How to Prevent Salmanilla Infection in Chickens

Washing the egg removes the cuticle. Once the cuticle is gone, the egg will spoil much faster. The egg inside effectively shrinks from water loss and the proteins break down. All of those degrading cesses proceed much more rapidly in an egg that has had its cuticle washed off. And then there's the micro organisms. It should not be surprising that when an egg comes out of a chicken it is general covered in bacteria. Salmanella is a genus of these little rod shaped bacteria that live in the intestinal systems of animals. When the host animal poops, the salmanella comes out along with the fecal matter. Birds have but one hole called a cloaca.
