Two separate experiments were performed. In Experiment 1,
uncoated eggs were compared with eggs coated with 1% chitosan. In
Experiment 2, uncoated eggs were compared with eggs coated with
2% chitosan. Experiments 1 and 2 contained 47 and 49 agar-filled eggs,
respectively. Whole eggs (uncoated and coated) were used to
determine the inoculation dose.
