Poultry Judging Practice Test

Which grade of eggs is designated as Grade B?

1. Fresh eggs

2. Standard eggs

3. Processed eggs

4. Lower quality eggs

The correct answer is: Lower quality eggs

The designation of Grade B eggs corresponds to lower quality eggs. This grading system evaluates eggs based on factors such as shell quality, albumen (the egg white) clarity, and yolk condition. Grade B eggs may have some slight stains on the shell and the egg white may be less firm compared to higher grades, such as Grade A. These eggs are typically used in processed foods rather than for fresh consumption. Their lower quality means they do not meet the stringent standards required for higher grades, which are intended for direct sale to consumers. Understanding the grading system is important in poultry judging, as it affects marketability and usage in various food products.
