Health egg production method
The integration of nutrition and healthcare has led to the development of "health eggs," which can help prevent and treat certain diseases. These eggs have a huge market demand, high value, and large quantities. Producing medicinal eggs requires relatively low investment but offers high returns. Below are several methods for producing health eggs:
1. **High-Iodine Eggs**
These eggs are particularly effective in preventing and treating hyperthyroidism. To produce them, add 4% to 6% seaweed or kelp powder to layer feed, or mix 50 grams of potassium iodide and calcium iodide into 100 kg of feed. Each bird should be fed 100 to 150 grams of this feed daily. Within 7 to 10 days, the iodine content in the eggs can increase by 15 to 30 times compared to regular eggs.
2. **Selenium-Enriched Eggs**
Adding 1% inorganic selenium salts or vitamin E supplements to the feed, with a total concentration of 1.5 to 2.5 mg per kilogram, can significantly boost selenium and vitamin E levels in eggs after one week of feeding. These eggs are beneficial for people with selenium or vitamin E deficiencies and have unique therapeutic effects on elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases and Keshan disease. However, it's crucial not to exceed 3 mg/kg of selenium in the feed to avoid poisoning in poultry.
3. **High-Zinc Eggs**
By adding 1% zinc salts to the feed, chickens can produce eggs with up to five times more zinc than normal eggs after 20 days. These eggs are especially helpful for individuals with zinc deficiency and also support children’s mental development.
4. **Low-Cholesterol Eggs**
Feeding chickens a diet mainly of corn, soybean meal, and distiller’s grains, along with essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, and using neutral water, can result in eggs with about 55% less cholesterol than regular eggs. Adding 4% to 6% fish oil from sea fish or a mix of fish oil, flaxseed oil, and rapeseed oil can also help reduce cholesterol. Consuming these eggs can help prevent conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
5. **Trace Element-Enriched Eggs**
Adding 0.4% of a trace mineral mixture to the feed allows chickens to produce eggs rich in zinc, iron, iodine, and calcium. Eating these eggs can improve immunity, prevent malnutrition, and support child development.
With growing awareness of health and nutrition, the demand for such specialized eggs is expected to rise. Farmers and producers who adopt these methods can tap into a profitable and sustainable market while contributing to public health.
