Egg Testing
Providing high quality eggs and egg products is crucial to the sustainable economic viability of the egg industry. Surveys conducted in the EU indicated that shell strength, albumen quality (consistency and height) and intensity of yolk pigment are the main measures of quality important to consumers. Guaranteeing quality is essential to meeting consumer expectations.
The Egg Quality System, also known as the Egg Testing Kit, provides the tools that enable the producer and packer of poultry eggs to accurately and consistently measure the quality of their produce in a rapid and simple testing process. They can regularly monitor a range of parameters to ensure that their eggs meet the required quality standards and that these are maintained throughout the laying period. Exponent software for the Texture Analyser provides the operator with parameter options from which to choose the tests to be performed on each egg.
