Popis: DURING the course of studies to appraise the value of formaldehyde fumigation in the destruction of S. pullorum in forced draft incubators in previous reports, seldom more than 30 dozen eggs were placed in the incubator weekly and at no time was the incubator operated at full egg capacity when formaldehyde was released in the incubator. The results reported elsewhere suggest the relative value of routine fumigation in checking incubator dissemination of pullorum disease. However, the problem of fumigating commercially operated forced draft incubators running at full egg capacity and under a variety of conditions in different hatchery establishments doubtless presents environmental factors which influence the efficiency of fumigation. To answer the question regarding the influence, if any, of the number of eggs in a forced draft incubator on the effect of formaldehyde fumigation, a series of 10 fumigations was conducted in a forced draft incubator with a capacity of . . .
