Shellvin

Any approach that aims to improve the quality and safety of eggs is of limited value unless it can relate to the incidence of breakages in the field. The incidence of thin and broken-shelled eggs increases as the laying cycle progresses. The thin shell eggs are liable to break before collection at the farm and break during the transportation and handling process. The economic loss to the commercial layer industry is estimated to be about 5-7 % loss of eggs at the farm and about 10% during transportation and handling. Poor eggshell quality is a huge hidden cost to the egg producer. Estimates are that around 3% of eggs produced in the hen house are uncollectible or break before intended use. The first 2-5 percent is lost simply due to form, which may be shell less, cracked, or broken to the extent that they are not suitable for collection. Another 3-8 percent is lost during collection, moving through the belts, cleaning, packing, and transportation to the end user.

Any strategy to raise the safety and quality of the egg is only partially effective if it doesn’t address the frequency of eggshell breakages in the field. For such poultry farmers incurring losses due to egg breakage, SHELLVIN is a unique blend of natural phytochemicals that modifies calcite crystal morphology, thereby increasing the texture and mechanical properties of eggshells. It acts as a natural calcium supplement to improve the strength of eggshells. SHELLVIN components decrease the rate of poultry egg breakage or cracking and hence prevent the issue of economic loss faced by farmers. The organic calcium present in this product increases eggshell quality and quantity.
