Show Cause of Watery Eggs Considerable time has been devoted de-voted to an effort to solve the prob lem of "watery whites" in eggs a problem which has given rise to much difficulty in the trade and considerable loss to producers, says a report of the Empire marketing board. Over a period of two years a number of factors, Including the liability of various breeds to produce pro-duce "watery whites," the system of management, for example, free ranges versus semi-intensive; low versus high feeding, etc., have been examined. None of these factors appear to be responsible to any appreciable ap-preciable extent for the condition known as "watery white." In the course of the Investigation, eggs twenty-four hours old and packed broad end (air cell) down had to be sent 18 miles by road. When tested they showed a remarkably high proportion of "watery whites." Montreal Herald. |
