Cold Storage of Eggs (beat the price down slide)

  In Poultry price of Egg rate fluctuation is very common. Sometimes despite of good demand the prices are not remunerative. It's only because like every other business some market forces are their which manipulate the trend in their favour. To bypass this phase the only solution is to cold storage the end product or the eggs.
In our Northern India, the cold stores are normally used to store the potatoes , fruits or spices. Usually  the temperature varies from 10-12°c inside a potatoes cold store. For eggs  no additional requirement is there. The only care that we should take care is as follows.
1. Only medium sized( 45-50 gm) or small sized ( 25-40 gm) eggs should be stored.It is because oversized eggs normally have thin Egg Shell and with time and humid conditions in store it will further loose its Egg shell quality.
2.Clean Egg should be stored because dirty Egg Shell may bring bacterial infections to the egg in humid environment.
3.Temperature variation in the store should not be more than 3-4 °c .otherwise Egg will loose water during heating and will absorb during cooling inside the store quite often which may spoil the egg quality and Egg Shell quality.
4. Better the egg shell quality while putting the eggs in store, longer will be the time span for which it can stay there. Normally we store it for 3-4 months.
5. After taking out eggs from the store, they should be kept in air for 3-4 hours so that they come to the normal temperature and stop loosing water through Egg Shell. and become dry.
6. Cost  of putting eggs in store for 3-4 months normally comes out to be 20-25 paisa/ Egg  in India.
