Dr ML Kansal, Technical Director of Kansal Agro, explained that there are many leaves, seeds and roots of plants that are beneficial to human and animal health."Adding their extracts into the feed or water of layers can help minimise the use of antibiotics. The eggs produced then will be free from antibiotic residues," he told Asian Poultry Magazine, adding that the frequent use of antibiotics leads to diseaseresistance.Besides minimising the use of antibiotics, some herbs are useful in removing residues of pesticides and aflatoxins from the eggs, while some are practical for removing off-odours or the fishy smell in eggs, he added.Kansal Agro, which has been ISO 22000:2005 certified for its food safety management systems, has been producing herbal organic eggs for a niche market in India for some years. The company's brands such as White Organic Eggs, Brown Organic Eggs and Odourless Organic Eggs are pioneers in the country and figure as market leaders in the category.
