Management of Pullets and Laying Hens under Tropical Conditions
Abstract Environmental temperatures play a major role in the optimal rearing of layer pullets, the basis of a financially successful production period of the layer bird. The optimal temperature for a white layer is 23 degrees celcius, respectively 24 degrees for brown layers. Every degree Celsius above this level will cause reduced feed intake and […]

Economics of Dual-Purpose Breeds
Abstract The use of Dual Purpose Breeds (DPB) is considered a strategy to avoid killing of day-old male chicks of layer lines. Since these males grow slowly and have a poor feed conversion rate, DPB have been developed by commercial breeding companies. Despite better growth rate of DPB males the production cost of these birds […]

Risks of spoilage and Salmonella contamination of table eggs
Abstract Consumers and food business operators are more and more aware of food safety issues. Food safety can broadly be divided into microbiological and chemical food safety. Microbiological contamination of eggs has important implications. For table eggs, internal contamination may occur, leading to spoilage and in the case of a pathogen to human disease and […]
