Poultry Egg Quality Analysis

Poultry eggs serve as a crucial protein source in the human diet, and their quality can provide insights into the nutrition and health of poultry. Therefore, analyzing egg quality holds significant importance. At BioVenic, our poultry egg quality analysis solutions offer comprehensive testing services, including nutritional and safety analyses, specifically designed for animal nutrition researchers. These services help monitor egg quality, ensuring that consumers receive superior edible poultry egg products.

Poultry Egg Quality Analysis

Poultry species exhibit unique egg characteristics due to their divergent evolutionary paths. Eggs from different species not only vary in size and appearance but also in the nutrient composition of yolk and egg white. Furthermore, safety and hygiene standards can differ among breeds based on varied feeding conditions. Addressing these differences, our egg quality testing platform offers tailored solutions for various poultry breeds, covering chicken, turkey, quail, goose eggs, and more.

Poultry Egg Nutritional Analysis

Poultry eggs are a vital source of proteins, cholesterol, and essential vitamins (A, E, B2, B6, B12, folic acid) and minerals (iodine, iron, selenium, zinc) in the human diet. Our advanced analysis solutions go beyond identifying key nutrients in eggs; they also detect less common bioactive components. This dual approach not only allows for the assessment of differences between eggs based on species, breeds, growth stages, and the nutritional status of poultry but also aids in the development of new nutritional strategies. These strategies aim to enhance the production of high-value functional eggs, contributing to better dietary options for consumers.

Omics Solution for Poultry Egg Quality Analysis

Utilizing advanced omics technologies such as proteomics and metabolomics, we conduct comprehensive and high-throughput analyses of the proteins and metabolites in poultry eggs. These studies are invaluable for elucidating the structure and function of different poultry eggs, as well as for understanding the physicochemical reactions that occur during storage and processing. By comparing omics data from eggs at various nutritional levels, animal nutrition researchers can identify key biomarkers related to egg nutrition, thereby facilitating the development of optimized poultry nutrition strategies.

Poultry Egg Safety Analysis

Our comprehensive testing platform offers one-stop solutions for analyzing veterinary drug residues, antibiotic residues, harmful microorganisms, mycotoxins, allergens, heavy metals, and other components in poultry eggs that pose potential health risks to consumers.

• Veterinary Drug Residue Testing

The application of veterinary drugs in poultry farming can lead to residues in poultry eggs that are harmful to public health. Leveraging our advanced testing technology, we can detect a wide range of veterinary drug residues. Common residues we screen for include tetracyclines (tetracycline, oxytetracycline, chlortetracycline), β-lactams (amoxicillin, cefazolin, penicillin G), sulphonamides (sulfamethoxazole, sulfadoxine, sulfathiazole), and fluoroquinolones.

• Poultry Egg Antibiotics Residue Testing

Antibiotics are commonly used in poultry farming to boost flock health and productivity. The use of these antimicrobials is strictly regulated to ensure poultry egg safety. We provide a variety of testing solutions to measure antibiotic residues in poultry eggs, helping to mitigate their potential health risks to humans.

• Poultry Egg Mycotoxin Testing

Mycotoxins are possible carcinogens and their monitoring in hen eggs is crucial due to the risk of contamination from moldy feed. Our solutions enable the detection of a broad spectrum of mycotoxins in eggs, ensuring egg safety. Additionally, we offer mycotoxin testing in poultry feed to further reduce their impact on egg safety and public health.

• Poultry Egg Allergen Testing

Egg allergies, which occur when the body reacts to proteins in egg white and yolk, are a significant concern. The egg white contains four major proteins that are common allergenic agents. We provide various testing methods to help researchers investigate the effects of different sources and processing methods on these allergens.

• Poultry Egg Microbial Contamination Testing

Poultry eggs are vulnerable to microbial contamination both before and after laying. Our testing and monitoring solutions ensure that the final product is free from pathogenic microorganisms, reducing potential losses and ensuring consumer safety.

• Poultry Egg Heavy Mental Testing

Heavy metals are persistent environmental pollutants that accumulate in the food chain. Eggs can bioaccumulate heavy metals like cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg), which can disrupt biological processes in humans, especially in children. Our testing platform offers services to measure the heavy metal content in poultry eggs, helping to ensure their safety for consumption.
