Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 010 - Agriculture, Dept. of › Sub-Agency 0003 - Medicine, Board of › Chapter 15 - EGG GRADING REQUIREMENT › Section 15-8 - Shell

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) A "clean" shell is an unbroken shell free
				from foreign material and stains or discolorations that are readily visible. An
				egg may be considered clean if it has only very small specks, stains or cage
				marks, if such specks, stains or cage marks are not of sufficient number or
				intensity to detract from the generally clean appearance of the egg. Eggs which
				show traces of processing oil on the shell are considered clean unless
				otherwise soiled.
(b) A "dirty"
				shell is an unbroken shell which has dirt or foreign material adhering to its
				surface, has prominent stains, or has moderate stains covering more than 1/32
				of the shell surface if localized or 1/16 of the shell surface if
				scattered.
(c) A "check egg" is an
				egg with a broken shell or crack in the shell, but with its shell membranes
				intact and its contents not leaking. A check egg is considered to be lower
				quality than a dirty egg.
(d) A
				"practically normal" (AA or A quality) shell is an unbroken shell that
				approximates the usual egg shape and is sound and free from thin spots. Ridges
				and rough areas that do not materially affect the shape and strength of the
				shell are permitted.
(e) An
				"abnormal" (B quality) shell is an unbroken shell that is somewhat unusual,
				decidedly misshapen, faulty in soundness or strength, or shows pronounced
				ridges or thin spots.

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) The "depth of
				air cell" (air space between shell membranes, normally in the large end of the
				egg) is the distance from its top to its bottom when the egg is held air cell
				upward.
(b) A "free air cell" is an
				air cell that moves freely toward the uppermost point in the egg as the egg is
				rotated slowly.
(c) A "bubbly air
				cell" is a ruptured air cell resulting in one or more small separate air
				bubbles usually floating beneath the main air cell.
Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 010 - Agriculture, Dept. of › Sub-Agency 0003 - Medicine, Board of › Chapter 15 - EGG GRADING REQUIREMENT › Section 15-10 - White

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) A "clear" (AA, A quality) white is free
				from discoloration or from any foreign bodies floating in it. (Prominent
				chalazas should not be confused with foreign bodies, such as spots and blood
				clots.)
(b) A "firm" (AA quality)
				white is sufficiently thick or viscous to prevent the yolk outline from being
				more than slightly defined or indistinctly indicated when the egg is twirled.
				With respect to the broken-out egg, a firm white has a Haugh unit value of 72
				or higher when measured at a temperature between 45°F. (7.2 C.) and
				60°F. (15.6 C.).
(c) A
				"reasonably firm" (A quality) white is a white that is somewhat less thick or
				viscous than a firm white. A reasonably firm white permits the yolk to approach
				the shell more closely which results in a fairly well defined yolk outline when
				the egg is twirled. With respect to a broken-out egg, a reasonably firm white
				has a Haugh unit value of 60 up to 71 when measured at a temperature between
				45°F. (7.2 C.) and 60° F. (15.6).
(d) A "weak and watery" (B quality) white is
				weak, thin and generally lacking in viscosity. A weak and watery white permits
				the yolk to approach the shell closely, thus causing the yolk outline to appear
				plainly visible and dark when the egg is twirled. With respect to the
				broken-out egg, a weak and watery white has a Haugh unit value lower than 60
				when measured at a temperature between 45°F. (7.2 C.) and 60°F. (15.6
				C.)
(e) Eggs containing "blood
				clots and/or spots" which are small blood or meat spots (aggregating not more
				than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter) are to be classified as B quality.
(f) A "bloody white" is an egg, with a white
				which has blood diffused through it. Such a condition may be present in
				new-laid eggs. Eggs with bloody whites are classified as a loss.
Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 010 - Agriculture, Dept. of › Sub-Agency 0003 - Medicine, Board of › Chapter 15 - EGG GRADING REQUIREMENT › Section 15-11 - Yolk

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) An "outline slightly defined" (AA
				quality) yolk is indistinctly indicated and appears to blend into the
				surrounding white as the egg is twirled.
(b) An "outline fairly well defined" (A
				quality) yolk is discernable but not clearly outlined as the egg is
				twirled.
(c) An "outline plainly
				visible" (B quality) yolk is clearly visible as a dark shadow when the egg is
				twirled.
(d) An "enlarged and
				flattened" (B quality) yolk is one in which the membranes and tissues have
				weakened and moisture has been absorbed from the white to such an extent that
				it appears definitely enlarged and flat.
(e) A "practically free from defects" (AA or
				A quality) yolk shows no germ development, but may show other very slight
				defects on its surface.
(f) A
				"clearly visible germ development" (B quality) yolk is one in which the
				development of the germ spot of a fertile egg has progressed to a point where
				it is plainly visible as a definite circular area or spot with no blood in
				evidence.
(g) "Blood due to germ
				development" is blood caused by development of the germ in a fertile egg to the
				point where it is visible as definite lines or as a blood ring. An egg having
				blood due to germ development is classified as inedible.
