چکیده
A new germfree chicken cage for rearing chicks up to 3 or 4 weeks of age has been designed and is in use at the University of Missouri. The cage and the accessory parts, the small magnet and hinged door, the "Bactytector," the built-in air filter assembly, and the glass top with connecting air outlet filter have been described in detail. The complete operating procedure for sterilizing the cage and diet and the method of adding sterile embryonated eggs have been outlined. Data on the effectiveness of the cage as a physical barrier to microbes have been presented.
