Important Factors of Egg Production
At Lunds, our mission is to provide high-quality, farm-fresh eggs that meet the highest standards of nutrition, safety, and sustainability. To achieve this, we pay close attention to the most important factors that influence egg production. Producing top-quality eggs is not just about the number of hens—it’s about managing their health, environment, and nutrition with care and precision.
One of the most critical factors in egg production at Lunds is hen welfare. Healthy, stress-free hens lay better eggs. We ensure that our birds are raised in clean, spacious environments where they have access to fresh air, clean water, and appropriate shelter. We regularly monitor the health of our flocks and work closely with veterinary experts to prevent illness and maintain biosecurity.
Nutrition plays a major role in the consistency and quality of our eggs. At Lunds, we use carefully formulated feed blends that provide the right balance of protein, calcium, vitamins, and minerals. A well-fed hen lays eggs with strong shells and vibrant yolks, which are signs of high nutritional value. We also adjust feed based on the seasons and the age of the flock to meet their changing needs.
Lighting is another essential aspect of egg production. Hens need adequate light exposure—about 14 to 16 hours per day—to maintain regular laying cycles. At Lunds, we use a combination of natural and supplemental lighting to ensure optimal conditions year-round, especially during shorter winter days. This helps regulate the hens’ natural rhythms without causing stress.
Cleanliness and hygiene in our facilities are also vital. We follow strict sanitation procedures in all areas, from laying nests to egg collection and packaging. This reduces the risk of contamination and ensures that the eggs our customers receive are fresh and safe.
Environmental management is a key focus at Lunds. We monitor temperature, ventilation, and humidity inside our housing systems to keep hens comfortable in all seasons. Good airflow and climate control reduce stress and prevent diseases, which supports consistent egg production.
By prioritizing these factors, Lunds continues to produce eggs that are not only delicious and nutritious but also ethically and responsibly sourced.
