Poultry and egg fumigation process

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF CONTROLLING POULTRY DISEASES BY FUMIGATING CHICKS IN A HATCHING CHAMBER HELD UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING INTO THE CHAMBER A PREDETERMINED QUANTITY OF SOLID PARAFORMALDEHYDE, GENERATING DRY HEAT FREE OF VOLATILE CONTAMINANTS, APPLYING SUCH DRY HEAT TO THE PARAFORMALDEHYDE TO RAISE ITS TEMPERATURE AND CAUSE RAPID CONVERSION OF THE PARAFORMALDEHYDE INTO DRY FORMABLDEHYE GAS, CONTINUTING THE APPLICATION OF DRY HEAT TO THE PARAFORMALDEHYDE UNTIL ALL OF IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO THE GASEOUS STATE TO PROVIDE A DEFINITE PREDETERMINED QUANTITY OF GAS IN THE CHAMBER AND TO DISPERSE THE INITIALLY DRY FORMALDEHYDE GAS RAPIDLY THROUGHOUT SUCH CHAMBER FOR FUMIGATING THE CHICKS THEREIN

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF TREATING EGGS AND CHICKS IN INCUBATOR AND HATCHER CHAMBERS WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF INTRODUCING INTO THE CHAMBER A PREDETERMINED QUANTITY OF SOLID PARAFORMALDEHYDE, GENERATING DRY HEAT FREE OF VOLATILE CONTAMINANTS, APPLYING SUCH DRY HEAT TO THE PARAFORMALDEHYDE TO CONVERT THE SOLID INTO DRY FORMALDEHYDE GAS, CONTINUING THE APPLICATION OF DRY HEAT TO CAUSE DISPERSION OF THE FORMALDEHYDE GAS THROUGHOUT THE CHAMBER, APPLYING DRY HEAT AFTER A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME TO A PREDETERMINED QUANTITY OF A SOLID NEUTRALIZING AGENT WHICH WHEN HEATED GENERATES HOT AMMONIA GAS IN THE CHAMBER, AND CONTINUING THE APPLICATION OF DRY HEAT TO SUCH NEUTRALIZING AGENT UNTIL A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF HOT AMMONIA GAS HAS BEEN GENERATED AND DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE CHAMBER TO REACT WITH THE FORMALDEHYDE GAS AND STOP THE FUMIGATION PROCESS.
