Increase the quality of eggs

Increasing the quality of the eggshell and its content is the result of a series of management and nutritional measures in the breeding hall.

Eggs produced in a poultry farm vary in size and quality. But the key to success in launching a marketable product is to get the highest percentage of eggs produced to the desired quality. Marketing is varied according to the taste of the customer and the target market. But a marketable egg must first look clean, smooth and shiny.

Egg shells should be smooth, free of cracks and hairs that cause contamination and break the shell during boiling, which can also pose a risk to human health. Also, blood and stool stains on the skin are very undesirable. Some product anomalies can be temporary and some can be permanent. In the following, we will deal with the factors and solutions to deal with 9 anomalies that overshadow the quality of the product.

1- Very small or large eggs

When the size of the eggs is too small or too large, you must first pay attention to how you feed. Also the weight of the pullets should be appropriate. The exposure system should also always be checked depending on the bird’s laying stage.

2- Very light or very dark yellow color

When you see abnormally light or dark colors, yellow or red feed additives should be checked. The amount and type of nutrition, the general health of the body and the gastrointestinal tract are other things that should be considered at this time.

3- Low white thickness

Improve the quality of dietary protein. Check the general health of the herd. Also, high storage temperatures of products can be a factor in this. The stage and amount of herd production is also one of the factors affecting the thickness of the white.

4- Matte color of egg shell

The strain or breed you breed affects the color of the egg shell. Keep birds away from the effects of sunlight. Some medications can also cause dull skin.

5- There is dirt on the eggs

Check the quality and quantity of food, the health of the birds, the humidity of the hall, the health and cleanliness of the cage and the speed of the egg conveyor.

6- Lots of cracked eggs

The way eggs are collected and the strength of the egg shell are the most important determinants.

7- Lots of open eggs

Avoid what causes the chickens to peck at the eggs. The product collection system can also be effective.

8- Eggs with or without shells

Sudden shocks, immaturity and development of scaly glands or lack of formation in some birds and some infectious diseases such as bronchitis are the causes of this problem. To prevent this complication, young pups should be managed by controlling their nutrition and sexual maturity. Chickens that have not formed scaly glands should also be removed.

9- Poor egg shell

Check the quality and amount of feed for laying hens, especially calcium and other minerals. Chicken age, water salinity, high room temperature and diseases such as bronchitis are among the factors affecting the quality of eggshells.
