A project designed to improve the traceability of eggs supplied by major businesses in Australia has been completed, providing new tools to trace the origin of eggs. It is needed by egg farmers who meet supermarket orders by buying eggs wherever they can find them.
Traceability allows producers packaging millions of eggs a day to identify the sources of egg quality, safety or hen health issues and allows attempts to rectify the problems.It helps when there are outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza, or contamination problems like salmonella.
A traceability manual is available to all egg farmers in Australia. The manual outlines best practice for tracking eggs and provides advice and guidance to support the design of reliable traceability systems for egg farms. The tools are available on Australian Eggs Traceability Hub. Genuine free range farms which only sell eggs produced by their own hens already have tight traceability standards. There are plenty of people wanting to set up their own freerange farm and we often have orders for our eBook which guides everyone through the process. Check our website.
