Stable Micro Systems hatches suite of egg testing tools
The suite can carry out 10 different measurements in less than four minutes, including whole egg and dry shell weight, shell breaking strength and deformation, egg albumen height, Haugh unit, shell thickness and vitelline membrane strength.
“Maintaining quality is vital for egg producers as it directly affects the grading and value of their products,” said Jo Smewing, applications manager, Stable Micro Systems.
“Our egg testing suite enables processors to implement a total quality management programme, ensuring that shell, albumen and yolk quality are maintained at all times throughout the laying period.”
The software also allows operators to manually add the colour of the yolk to the digital egg testing data, which can then be archived with the rest of the data for future retrieval.
