Sourcing an effective egg washing solution

Any farmer who is looking to upgrade or update their egg washing machine at the moment might find that they are harder to source than usual, as market supply has all-but dried up on certain models for quite some time.

Of course, if you are a breeder, having egg washing facilities is non-negotiable – clean first-grade hatching eggs are what everyone requires going into the warmth of a sanitised incubator.

Egg washing can be time-consuming when done properly. Here’s a look at the different options available to help speed this vital process up.
