Tecnoshell
The solution for strengthening poultry bones and eggshells
Meeting production requirements by controlling shell quality
Shell quality: a major challenge in aviculture
Shell quality is a key factor in poultry farming, for both table eggs and hatching eggs. For table eggs, a strong, uniform shell ensures food safety, minimizes economic losses resulting from rejected eggs, and meets the requirements of sales channels. For hatching eggs, controlling shell quality is even more critical: it ensures embryo protection, incubation success, and ultimately, hatching performance and chick quality. A shell that is too thin or porous can compromise embryonic development, lead to contamination, and impact chick viability. Nutritional management, monitoring of mineral status, and control of environmental factors are therefore key to ensuring a high-quality shell suited to each type of production.
Improving shell quality: from farming to feed
Improving shell quality is a major factor in ensuring the reliability of egg production, whether the eggs are intended for consumption or for breeding. Mixscience offers a comprehensive approach that combines specific nutritional solutions with technical support for poultry farming. These solutions are available for both conventional and organic production methods and influence calcium absorption, mineral status management, and shell structure, thereby helping to minimize defects and ensure reliable production. In addition, the Eggoscope audit provides a comprehensive on-site analysis to identify key technical levers in poultry farming: feed, environment, equipment, and flock management. This combined approach ensures effective action can be taken on the key factors affecting shell quality, whether for table eggs or breeding eggs.
