Haemophilus parasuis is the causative agent of Glässer's disease, a systemic disease of pigs, and is also associated with pneumonia. H. parasuis can be classified into 15 different serovars. Here we report, from the 15 serotyping reference strains, t...

Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength
Journal Article
Widdicombe, J. P., Rycroft, A. N., & Gregory, N. G. Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 89(2), 201-205. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.3425

BACKGROUND: This study examined the relationship between egg shell strength and the prevalence of cracked shells, plus the relationship between egg shell cracks and the presence of bacteria in the albumen of retail eggs. A total of 500 eggs was sampl... Read More about Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength.
