Green & Eyed Egg Microbiomes

Livestock health starts in the hatchery

Enhanced pathogen detection

Early detection of all pathogenic threats to eggs, including novel strains that go undetected by traditional diagnostics.

Egg surface surveillance

Swabs taken directly from the eggs provide comprehensive insights, guaranteeing that nothing has been missed.

Quality assurance certification

Provide buyers of your eggs with the peace of mind that they will be purchasing eggs with a healthy microbiome.

Beneficial microbe identification

Identify the presence of microbes that are proven to be a requirement for robust egg development, leading to improved survival.

Understanding Microbial Influences in the Hatchery

The microbiome that surrounds and colonises eggs in the hatchery plays an important role for robust egg development. We have identified a number of beneficial microbes that are a requirement for early-stage development, influencing hatch success, larval health and downstream performance.

Inlet Water Microbiome

Analysing incoming water reveals which microbes are entering your hatchery. This acts as an early checkpoint for identifying potentially harmful pathogens being introduced into the system.

Tank Microbiome

By taking water samples from the tanks, microbial communities are identified and monitored, detecting shifts that may impact egg development and water quality.

Egg Surface Microbiome

Eggs are colonised by a complex community of microbes including pathogens and beneficials. Monitoring them provides comprehensive insight into egg health and potential threats.

Benefits of Egg & Water Sampling

To fully understand the microbial world influencing egg health in the hatchery, it's essential to monitor the microbiome and multiple points across a hatchery facility.
