Measures to ensure production of good quality eggs

• Keep nest clean. Maintaining clean nesting material will reduce microbial exposure when the egg is first laid.
• Collect eggs regularly at least daily and preferably twice a day to prevent breakage and possible contamination from fecal material and dirt.
• Clean dirty with water and dried immediately
• Store eggs in clean packaging materials.
• Storage conditions temperature 4 – 12⁰C and humidity 60 – 80%
• Feed layers on proper feed rations
• Sell first laid egg first
• Cushion the nest box to prevent egg breakage
• Sell/eat before spoiled
