The primary types of sustainability are Environmental, Social, and Economic, often called the “three pillars” of sustainability, representing the balance needed for long-term viability. Environmental sustainability focuses on protecting natural resources and ecological systems, while social sustainability emphasizes human well-being and equity. Economic sustainability involves managing resources and systems to ensure long-term prosperity and viability for all.

Very good
Thank you

they bridge some gaps too which the commercial millers underated.

Big size eggs are caused by a hen’s increased age, her breed, and her body weight, along with proper nutrition, water intake, and optimal environmental conditions like temperature and lighting.

Below are my notes on Conrado (Don) Bulanhagui’s comments on scales and weighing practices from during a recent SEC Asia Feed Milling Intermediate Course,:
Ingredient weights are typically categorized as:
- Major components: 80–90%
- Minor components: 10–15%
- Micro components: less than 5%
For example, in a 10-tonne capacity mixer:
- Major scale = 10 x 0.9 = 9 tonnes
- Minor scale = 10 x 0.15 = 1.5 tonnes
- Micro scale = 10 x 0.05 = 0.5 tonnes (some mills may use multiple micro scales)
Key points Don emphasized include:
- Scales must be calibrated during installation and certified annually.
- Regardless of whether scales are automatic or manual, daily calibration is essential to maintain weighing accuracy.
- Nutritionists should be fully aware of the scales’ accuracy levels to ensure precise formulation.
- Ingredients should be weighed in descending order of inclusion to minimize free fall, especially for low-inclusion ingredients.
- The hammer mill should not be located on the same floor as the scales, as vibrations negatively impact weighing accuracy. Ideally, the hammer mill is placed on the ground floor, where concrete flooring acts as the best vibration dampener.

these info is much appreciated
