Read more UP Egg Management It is imperative to keep a close eye on egg size. Once birds come in to lay, the team at Crediton Milling will weigh eggs on farm on a regular basis. This is key to making sure birds are fed on the correct ration; eggs are required to reach a certain weight but changing rations according to egg size prevents this from getting out of control. Generally, gradings that come back from the packers are delayed by a couple of weeks, therefore, it is important to keep ahead of the game! The Egg Focus Service that we provide, helps us work with our producers to agree on the correct ration for your birds. This service involves weekly updates with our producers to determine egg size and production. This information is then plotted on a graph, against breed targets, and sent back to the producer. As a result, this keeps the dialog flowing between the CMC team and our customers, ultimately coming to a mutual agreement on ration changes. On the right is an example of a graph produced for a customer: Our CracklessEgg also helps determine where hairline cracks might be occurring as a result of issues in the system. This technology involves placing a replica egg in the nest box and following it through the entire system until it is packed on a tray and stacked. The CracklessEgg sends a Bluetooth signal to a tablet which shows a real-time line graph, thus illustrating where cracks will be occurring. This technology has revolutionised reducing seconds on farm, thus saving the farmer potentially thousands of pounds in downgrades. On the left is an example of a chart produced on farm. Anything in the red zone is where an egg would crack. Bird Management Similar to keeping on top of egg size, it is also essential to manage bird weight. Harriet, Will and Russell are on hand to help during pullet unloads. These birds will be weighed as they come on to farm to check weight and evenness. Birds will then continue to be weighed every week to ten days, up until the birds are roughly 25 weeks. Birds will be fed accord to their body weight, so this is a very important part of the process. Egg and bird size are directly correlated.
