“Spotted” or “mottled” eggshells are those that show many translucent spots during candling. Under normal light, the eggs may appear marble-like. The translucent spots are areas where the eggshell structure is disorganized and has become thinner and weaker.
The normal eggshell has many pores to allow the gas exchange needed for the survival of the embryo. In mottled eggs, abnormal amounts of moisture and air are lost through the disorganized structure of the translucent areas, reducing the hatchability of fertile eggs.
Mottled table eggs are not usually downgraded unless the spots are very visible, or the shells become very fragile and thin.
Recently, we at PlusVet Animal Health have given a seminar together with Vetworks, where the Doctor in Veterinary Medicine Hilde Van Meirhaeghe educated the audience on how to align gut health and the reproductive tract for excellent productivity in layers. One of the questions from the attendees was about the causes of mottled eggshells, a problem that our customers producing in hot and humid climates are facing often.
GrowthPlus© is added to feed to maintain and improve digestive health. It is formulated with synergistic ingredients:
It is especially useful in cases of gizzard diseases, necrotic enteritis, feed passage and other enteritis. It is also used as a natural growth promoter and to replace antibiotic growth promoters.
PlusBreathe© contains essential oils with natural antiseptic, antioxidant, expectorant and mucolytic activity. It has a refreshing taste.
It is indicated to improve the functioning of the respiratory system and to mitigate heat stress in birds, ruminants, pigs and rabbits of all ages. It can also be nebulized in the farm environment.
PhytoMax© is a combination of vitamins, chelated calcium, microminerals and essential oils to be given through drinking water. It is intended for layers and breeders to:
PlusBind© is a mixture of carefully selected silicates intended for the prevention of diseases and productivity losses related to the presence of all types of mycotoxins. It is indicated in poultry, pigs, aquaculture and ruminants.
The silicates present in PlusBind© have a highly expandable molecular structure. This characteristic gives the product a wide surface available for the adsorption of mycotoxins and therefore allows a high effectiveness at lower doses (0.5-1 kg per ton of feed).
