How to choose healthier eggs?

When we go to the supermarket, in front of the counter eggs, you see a myriad labels with phrases like: from the ground lug , organic eggs, farm outside or anything.



But what exactly Barn?



What distinguishes the eggs from hens in battery cages than biological?



This place is meant precisely to do some 'clarity between all these terms and explain the differences so you can choose eggs that suit us.

1. EGGS laying hens in battery-breeding technique that involves laying hens spend their entire life caged in a shed where forced ventilation is required for the harmful emissions of the manure of the animals. The cages are arranged in rows 4 to 6. We find 16-18 hens per m2. cages, by law, the size of 550 cm2 (often not respected). Eggs are laid on a conveyor belt that away immediately after the deposition. This method causes problems both physical and mental animals that can not have those attitudes typical of their species, given the shortage of space. They are also subject to various other stresses that worsen the situation.



2. EGGS Barn: they are free to move on the ground in a shed, without having access to the outside, it eliminates many physical problems including foot problems. there are 4 hens per m2



3. range eggs OUTDOORS: hens are free to roam outside the protected animals from foreign breeding. The animals must pass a minimum number of hours outdoors to obtain this certification, the limit imposed by law. The eggs are laid on the ground or in special nests where hens can enter freely. We find a hen every 4 m2.
   
   
4. EGGS FOR ORGANIC FARMING: hens are free to stay in the sheds is to be 'outside where they can spend time on land to organic feed and receive more and biological origin, with a maximum of 20% integration with other feed . We also have limitations on the drugs that may be administered to animals.
   

farming in batteries, according to the most recent reform, will disappear by 2013.

I think needless to say, most hens are healthier longer produce healthy eggs for us, so now you have hope that the ideas a little 'clearer you make the choice that best meets your needs.
