Recently a new book was published in the series of practical guides for bird focused poultry management, Egg Signals. Different from Poultry, Broiler and Layer Signals this book focuses on the egg. The book Egg Signals provides practical science based on an extensive knowledge of egg formation, egg handling and consumption.
Much can be learned, not only from the signals of the chicken, but also the egg, its appearance and quality.
The position of a crack, for example, can tell you a lot about the cause. The so-called signals are well described in this book. The book does provide a lot of practical information based on an extensive knowledge of egg formation, egg handling and consumption. Professionals do know that a successful operation needs an eye for detail. Egg signals shows you how to develop and train that ‘eye’. This book is regularly asking you the following questions: ‘What do I see?’ ‘What does it mean?’ ‘What should I do?’ This way it challenges you to check all the time whether all your science on poultry and egg production is applied in the right way or can be adjusted for a better result. Egg Signals provides answers to questions such as these: How are eggs with optimal quality created? How do you prevent abnormalities? How do you add value? With more than 650 practical pictures and illustrations this book employs real-life cases taken directly from practice. Egg Signals is meant for everybody who is interested in egg production and the value of an egg for consumption. It follows the egg through all links in the chain, from poultry farmer to packer, processor, and consumer. The book sometimes scratches the surface of a topic, but does not go to deep into the matter, making it a very readable book created by Piet Simons.
