Producing Safe Eggs

Producing Safe Eggs: Microbial Ecology of Salmonella is a reference published by Academic Press that connects commercial egg production with the challenges of Salmonella and microbial contamination. The text outlines safety measures and risk factors across the supply chain, from housing facilities to processing and retail.

The volume examines biological and operational factors influencing egg safety. Core coverage addresses layer flock physiology, immunology, and animal welfare alongside pre-harvest and post-harvest interventions to minimize contamination risks.

Designed for industry professionals, corporate managers, and graduate students, the text also serves government regulatory officials, including personnel at the USDA and FDA.
