Processing
Egg Laying
We feed hens healthful diet and they lay eggs in a controlled environment. We provide a suitable temperature and lighting manually.
Egg Collection
When eggs laid by hens in the cages, eggs are collected immediately, otherwise, they will be not fresh, during collection, the waste between eggs and eggs we clean using professional tools.
Egg Washing
Our farm does not have access to egg wash machine, but our contractor Baramakama has machine to clean the eggs before supply to retailers.
Egg Inspection
We have machine that examines the different parts of the eggs without breaking shell. Inferior eggs are removed to guarantee the high quality of eggs we use to cook.
