Abstract
Reduced cholesterol eggs and techniques for producing and selecting them are included. The techniques are designed to achieve at least a 25% reduction over normal levels for the grade size. The reduction can be achieved by weight monitoring of the egg, size monitoring of the yolk through candling, and selecting eggs from high producing, young, and high clutch chickens.
