Bird Flu Scare Haunts AP
One crore table eggs from the state are exported every month to Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi. But due to the bird flu scare last year these countries had banned the eggs from India . The total loss that year was put around Rs 1000 crores.
Table egg or chicken egg is particularly rich in nitrogenous elements. It is one of the most highly concentrated forms of nitrogenous food, about one third of its weight being solid nutriment. It is also confirmed to have a low-calorie source of protein, Vitamin A, riboflavin, Vitamin B-12, iron, zinc, phosporus, calcium, potassium and other nutrients.
The average weight of an egg is about two ounces, of which 10% consists of shell, 60% of white, and 30% of yolk.
Table egg is commonly consumed as viand. It is also used as ingredient for desserts like pastries, cookies, pies, cakes and others. It is sometimes processed into "itlog na maalat" or salted egg. It is also effective in some beauty regimen.
The association has convened a meeting to overcome the problem that could possibly arise from the situation.
