ORGANIC EGG FARMING

Defined simplistically organic egg production is nothing but farming of eggs through using organic methodology. The basic preparation starts with feeding organic food to the poultry before production of such category of eggs.

Secondly you have to give special care to the poultry by keeping them in the cage-free environment through providing an outdoor atmosphere. Use of antibiotics is strictly prohibited for people involved in the production of organic egg farming.

The very first step of producing organic eggs is legal preparedness – that of certifying a farmer or group of farmers to involve them in such work. They would then grow organic feed meant for poultry. Anybody can become certified organic farmer provided one has taken special care in arranging crops that are free of all categories of genetically modified organisms.

When they are neat from such elements and synthetic fertilization is not practiced for certain period one is offered certification for organic usage. In such scenario crop is properly contaminated through cross-fertilization and it is brought in such a condition that organic grading becomes possible. You should ensure that anything offered to poultry is not an animal by-product.

Maintenance

An important need for production of organic egg is to maintain farming of chicken systematically. You may encounter a case in which poultry lays eggs in a place where you didn’t expect them to do so. Basic concept is that whenever you are planning organic egg production the unnecessary limitation you had had in normal cases will have to be eased. Freedom and cage-free environment is a must for this arrangement for flocks to get organic eggs. Furthermore all poultry must have access to outdoors when your focus is on organic egg farming.

Such rules may vary time and again depending upon climatic conditions. Situations discussed above may change according to special climatic needs. Farmers have to ascertain that all poultries meant for organic egg farming have been raised through special treatment. They should live free-roaming in the barn. Such poultries are better raised on cement flooring instead of bedding. All categories of nesting boxes are properly adjusted and placed above a particular category of belted system to reassure that organic operation doesn’t get halted.

Pre and Post Preparation

The very basic rule of law is allowing poultries to roam freely and lay eggs anywhere they wish including belts. Egg production level is not affected as special care is taken on all stages from production to maintenance for ensuring that the impact of such organic eggs doesn’t get damaged. Second most important factor is that all organic egg producers have to ensure that they haven’t fed even low-level antibiotics to poultry. One can use antibiotics in the extreme cases only when there is an outbreak of infection or any disease grips poultries in its trap. Inducing a molt within their flock is strictly prohibited.
