Its state-of-the-art egg grading machine, driven by artificial intelligence, handles washing, weighing and packaging while inspecting for defects and contaminants like hairline cracks, yolk, and chicken litter. UV disinfection ensures thorough bacteria elimination before eggs are sorted by size and packaged in eco-friendly cartons made from recycled plastic bottles, significantly reducing the company's carbon footprint.Integrating AI and automated case packers has optimized the packing process, addressing labor shortages in the U.S. and enhancing operational efficiency.In fertilizer production, the company has refined its methodology over three decades, establishing a distinct standard for its aerobically composted chicken manure (ACCM) in the organic fertilizer market. Emphasizing the importance of its approach with the slogan `how it's made matters,' the process involves a proprietary blend combined with carbon, composted in pits for 45 to 50 days. Additional carbon sources are introduced as the compost is turned in the pits, breaking down all organic materials to create an effective soil enhancer. When combined with other organic proteins, the resulting product becomes a highly efficient organic fertilizer coveted by golf courses, sports arenas and organic farmers.The company's commitment to organic farming practices stems from recognizing the critical role of nurturing soil health for sustainable plant growth. Neglecting soil enrichment undermines eco-conscious farming practices and poses risks to those exposed to treated areas, including animals and pets. Non-organic farming methods risk contaminating food sources with chemicals, potentially endangering human health.Our product is not only friendly to the earth, but to the people applying it, as well as to the pets or animals walking on it or feeding from pasture
