Research Project
Elimination of "fishy" taint in eggs from hens fed diets containing canola meal
When fed canola meal, the presence of a compound called sinapine in the meal often causes hens to lay eggs with a fishy taint. This study aims to identify the exact levels of sinapine that cause this, and to eliminate the phenomenon.

Katherine pearl millet could be incorporated into the diets of hens without any adverse effect on layer performance or egg production.
Research Project
Reducing disease spread and neighbour complaints by integrated fly control on egg farms
Due to the number of issues caused by fly populations in relation to the Australian agricultural industry, this project seeks to provide further information about the dynamics of flies breeding on Australian egg farms. In addition, different fly monitoring systems were investigated to determine the most efficient control program. Results from the study were used to develop recommendations for fly control on Australian egg farms and were developed into an online manual that is available to Australian egg farmers.
Research Project
Effects of commercial feed enzymes in wheat-based diets on egg and egg shell quality in imported strains of laying hen
At the time of commencement of this project, very little research had been conducted into feeding layer hens and results were not consistent among studies of the benefits of adding commercial feed enzyme preparations to the diets of laying hens. This report was conducted to evaluate these benefits and provide Australian egg producers with scientific data to evaluate the processes themselves and carry out an internal cost-benefit analysis.
