New programs
THIS YEAR WE ARE USING UV TREATED WATER IN THE INCUBATION ROOM IN HOPES OF REDUCING FUNGUS GROWTH ON THE EGGS. WE ALSO USE NANOBUBBLERS ANDARE USING TANKED OXYGEN GAS INTO THE STACKS (10 TRAYS). TO SAVE COSTS WE HAVE PURCHASED AN OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR TO PRODUCE OXYGEN ON SITE. WE HOPE THAT THE INCREASED OXYGEN WILL ALSO HELP REDUCE FUNGUS GROWTH AND IMPROVE EGG VIABILITY.
