It includes filler trays, egg cartons, and egg baskets that are manufactured using clean and odorless rice husks, wheat chaff, or chopped straws. It retains the original quality of eggs by absorbing stress and shock during transportation and helps preserve eggs from moisture, bacteria, tainting, and natural predators.
