Chicken and the egg

The quality of an egg produced is dependent on the quality of health and life of the hen. This includes the quality of the food they consumed and the environment in which they live and grow in.

To produce quality eggs, the chickens need to be in the best of health to produce the best quality of eggs. To achieve this, consistent and quality processes need to be placed to ensure a good environment and nutrition for chickens starting from day-old chicks.

From day 1, young chicks are placed in an environment that ensures good health, while fed with good nutrition to eventually produce good quality eggs.

As the content of the eggs reflects the general well-being of the chicken, quality eggs demand two things - the quality of health of the chickens and the absence of artificial chemicals whether from animal feed or from medication in treating the chickens. Quality eggs are produced when the basic well-being of chickens are sufficiently met. To do this, the chicken's biology has to be thoroughly understood so that the feed can be formulated to sufficiently provide all the nutrition chickens need for the best of health and development.

The chicken's environment needs to be stable, clean and follow strict hygiene control and biosecurity measures. This reduces the risk of bacterial and viral infections whether it is from the environment, other chickens and even from humans. The best farms are climate controlled to maintain a stable temperature be it in the heat of day or in the cold night so that chickens are comfortable and not subjected to the stress of changing or harsh temperatures. Sometimes, bacterial infection can also occur from a dirty environment contaminated by chicken droppings, so poultry farms must ensure regular disposal of the chicken's waste.

When chickens fall sick, they run the risk of infecting other chickens. Quality egg producers maintain the health of chickens to prevent illnesses and feed them with probiotics supplementation naturally to boost the chicken's natural defense against illnesses. Quality nutrition, environment and processes ensure the production of quality, all natural and nutritious eggs. Click here to find out how QL Eggs bring goodness from farm to store.
