Egg candling is a quality-control process that uses light to inspect the internal condition of eggs without breaking the shell. It helps detect cracks, blood spots, and freshness issues. PoultryBaba supports quality-focused trading through Murghi Mandi.
This trend is currently affecting Lahore and surrounding poultry markets.
Candling is a standard procedure used by commercial producers, grading stations, and exporters. By shining a bright light through the egg, inspectors can evaluate air cell size, shell integrity, internal defects, and overall freshness. Many export markets and large retailers require candled eggs to maintain quality standards. Proper candling reduces customer complaints and improves brand reputation. Through Murghi Mandi, buyers can specify quality requirements and connect with suppliers that meet those standards. The Poultry Rates section helps monitor market conditions, while Poultry Plaza provides access to poultry equipment and industry suppliers. These services are available through www.poultrybaba.com and the Poultry Baba Mobile App.
