This Video is about Producing Quality Eggs, Factors affecting Egg Shape, Egg Nutrition and Possible Solutions or Activities to Achieve Egg Standards by Dr. ARSHAD.
Quality Egg Shape and Better Nutritional value of Chicken Eggs is vital for High Market Eggs Price, Table Eggs and for Good Chicks Quality. So it is important to know how to Produce Quality Eggs from any Flock or How to Maintain Chicken Eggs Quality or to Identify Possible Factors involved in Egg Shape and Size deterioration.
Possible Factors that can Cause Egg Quality Problems are Infectious Bronchitis in Chickens ( IB )
Newcastle Disease in Poultry ( ND )
Stress in Poultry
Age of Chickens ( Old Hens )
Excess to Calcium to Chickens
Loose Droppings ( Diarrhea )
Indigestion ( Digestibility issues in Poultry
Chicken Gut Health Problems
Imbalance Electrolytes
Imbalance Poultry Feed
Heavy Weight Pullets
Overweight Pullets Coming into Laying
Abrupt Change in Light Schedule for Chickens
Unhygienic Conditions in the Chicken House
Immature Shell Gland of Hens
Avian Influenza ( AI )
Egg Drop Syndrome ( EDS )
Less Nutrition For Chickens
Poultry Feed difficient in Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese and Vitamin D3
Mycotoxins in Poultry
Overcrowding Poultry Flock
Disturbance inside Chicken Coop
Worms in Poultry
Hen body weight is the key to increased egg size. Bigger hens produce larger eggs than smaller hens and bigger breeders produce larger eggs than smaller breeders.
Protein level in the feed can be used to alter egg size at different stages of production. In the first couple of months of egg production feeding a high, 18% to 20% protein layer ration will increase egg size. After the flock has reached maximum egg production, high protein diets no longer promote large increases in egg size. After 36 weeks of age, feeding rations with 15% to 17% protein will help to slow increases in egg size.
Lighting programs influence egg size by accelerating or delaying the age at which hens start to lay eggs. The younger a hen is when she starts egg production, the smaller her eggs will be during her first year of life. The start of egg production can be delayed by providing less of light each day to 19 weeks of age. Decreasing the daily hours of light at any time after 10 weeks of age will also delay the start of egg production.
Skeletal size has some impact on egg size. Hens with bigger and longer bones tend to become bigger hens and lay bigger eggs. The protein level in the ration fed before 10 weeks of age is the main factor influencing skeletal size of any particular breed of hen. If you want pullets with bigger skeletons, feed a starter diet until 8 or 10 weeks of age instead of just 6 weeks of age.
Feed intake has a direct impact on the hens’ intake of nutrients and the size of eggs that they produce. Any factor that limits feed consumption, for example crowding, heat stress or inadequate water supply, will reduce egg size.
These factors have a strong influence on how soon the hens start to lay Large instead of Medium eggs and how many hens will lay Extra Large or Jumbo eggs.
Use of Linoleic acid in Chicken Diet, Correct Balance of Methionine & Cysteine, Oats, Broccoli, Milk, Yoghurt, Eggs, Eggs White, Strong Skeleton, Weeky Chicken Body Weight, Balanced Ration & Offering Feed at Equal intervals is Helpful to increase Chicken Eggs Size.

Grade AA Eggs are the Highest Quality whereas Grade B are the Lowest.
We Determine Quality of the Eggs on the Basis of Egg Shell, Egg White, Yolk & Air Cell.
Ideally You want a Smooth and Clean Surface Egg. Grade AA Eggs are Clean and Unbroken, Grade A Eggs are also Clean, Unbroken with Slight Less Calcium Deposited over it while Grade B are Slightly Stained with an Abnormal Shape.
When an Egg is Firstly Laid it has Hardly any extra Space of Air cell so the Freshest Eggs Have the Smallest Air cells. Grade AA have no more than 1/8 inch Air cell, Grade A have in between 1/8 to 3/16 inches Air cell while Grade B have Larger than 3/16 Air cell Space.
If You hold the Egg in Front of a Bright Light you want Firm a Firm Yolk that isn't very Visible from the Outside. In Grade AA Eggs Yolk is Slightly Defined, in Grade A Eggs Yolk Outline is more Defined while in Grade B Eggs Yolk Outline is clearly Defined.
Ideally we want a Thick White that Won't let the Yolk move around much. Grade AA Eggs have Clear and Thick White, Grade B Eggs have clear and reasonably Thick White while Grade B Eggs may have Blood spots, thin and Watery Yolk.
Egg Grade is a Sign of Quality it's Not necessarily a Sign of Safety. For Example Egg Graders don't check for Salmonella. Whether Your Eggs have a Grade or Not they're Still a Delecious part of a Balanced Diet.
