Egg Signals follows the egg on its journey through all stages: from poultry farmer to packer, processor and finally to the consumer. It describes the origin and unique composition of the egg. Optimising egg quality is one of the most important considerations throughout the entire poultry chain. The quality of an egg can be influenced before it is laid, but certainly also after it has been laid. Successful professionals know how to manage egg quality. And how to steer and make decisions based on this. This means having an eye for detail. Egg Signals explains how you can develop this 'eye'. By repeatedly asking yourself three questions: What do I see? How did this happen? What do I do? You gain insight and get even better at the process. Eisignalen also provides answers to questions such as: How is an egg of optimal quality produced? Which hen lays such an egg? How do I prevent deviations? How do I add value? The position of a crack, for example, tells you a lot about the cause. Egg Signals uses 650 photos and illustrations to show you the basics of quality thinking and acting accordingly. With concrete issues and examples taken directly from practice. And with the result of a satisfied consumer.
