Eggs : the production, identification and retention of quality in eggs / [author, Earle S. Snyder].: A12-8/137-1946E-PDF

"Producers and consumers alike need to know all available information concerning eggs. They should realize their high nutritional value and the factors influencing such values. They should also understand all factors and conditions in the production and marketing of eggs which influence quality in any way. Such knowledge should aid consumers in making maximum use of the product. It should also aid producers to so intelligently produce a maximum quality product as to enable them to successfully meet competition, whether nutritional or economic and to maintain and develop a stable remunerative poultry industry in Canada. The material in this bulletin is offered as an aid to this end."--p. 8.
