ABSTRACT:
A method of treating semen from male fowl to increase the production of fertile eggs by female fowl inseminated with the treated semen by exposing the semen to a magnetic field of predetermined intensity and for a predetermined period of time. The semen so treated increases the number of fertile eggs produced by the female fowl inseminated with the treated semen. The invention also includes a method for treating fertile eggs to increase the hatch rate and the rate of growth of fowl hatched from the treated eggs. The eggs are treated by placing the eggs in a magnetic field of predetermined intensity to expose the eggs to the magnetic field and then removing the eggs from the field after a predetermined period of time. Preferably, the magnetic treatment of the eggs is done prior to incubation. The invention also includes apparatus for magnetically treating eggs, vials of animal semen, or other fragile articles, such apparatus including a magnet for producing a magnetic field and supporting means of soft resilient material extending through the magnetic field for supporting articles moving through the magnetic field. The apparatus may also include means for revolving the eggs, vials of semen, or other articles, as they move through the magnetic field to constantly change the orientation of the article with respect to the magnetic field during the time that the article is being treated in the magnetic field.
