Abstract
Antibiotic dipping with gentamicin sulfate by means of the temperature-differential method was effective in reducing but not completely eliminating Arizona hinshawii (7:1, 7, 8) from artificially infected turkey hatching eggs. Embryonic development was well maintained. The antibiotic dip solution intake was variable from egg to egg. Removal of cuticle by means of either 0.2 N HCl or a 10% disodium salt of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid enhanced egg weight gains and maintained good embryonic development. Complete elimination of A. hinshawii was achieved in one experiment out of four.Correlation studies between egg weight gains and gentamicin concentrations of the contents of the turkey hatching eggs indicated a statistically significant relationship between these two parameters.
