Floor eggs data analysis and trials

The conditions contributing to floor egg production are poorly understood. By identifying these conditions, targeted interventions can be used to minimise floor egg numbers, reducing the associated food safety and economic implications. 

The project will Identify the key determinants associated with the production of floor eggs, determine operational procedures and strategies during rearing and/or laying that will minimise the number of floor eggs and produce a practical check list for growers to use to prevent floor eggs.

With this information Australian Eggs will develop resources to assist egg farmers in creating production environments which are less conducive to floor eggs.
