About birds' eggs, in shell; fresh, fertilised eggs for incubation, of fowls of the species gallus domesticus (domestic hens)

HS code 040711 covers the import and export of fresh, fertilized eggs for incubation, specifically from domestic hens (Gallus domesticus). This industry plays a crucial role in the global poultry supply chain, providing the foundation for the production of chickens and other fowl. As a key input for the 010511 Breeding of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus industry, the trade of these eggs is essential for meeting the growing worldwide demand for poultry products.

Production process

The production of fertile eggs for incubation involves carefully managing the breeding and nesting of domestic hens. Hens are housed in specialized facilities and provided with a balanced diet to optimize egg production. Eggs are collected daily and inspected for quality before being packaged and shipped to hatcheries or other 010511 Breeding of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus operations.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 040711 industry include the domestic hens themselves, as well as feed, water, and other resources necessary for their care and egg production. Specialized equipment, such as nesting boxes, egg collection systems, and temperature-controlled storage facilities, are also essential for the efficient and safe handling of the eggs.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 040711 industry is fresh, fertilized eggs for incubation. These eggs are then used as inputs for the 010511 Breeding of fowls of the species Gallus domesticus industry, where they are hatched and raised to produce chickens and other poultry products. The 040711 industry also generates a small amount of waste, such as broken or non-viable eggs, which may be used for other purposes, such as animal feed.
