JASIN: A duck farmer in Selandar is giving salted egg a cleaner touch by adopting a more hygienic curing method. Mohd Shafie Md Isa, 44, from Kampung Baru Sedanan, washes and soaks duck eggs in a boiled brine solution to ensure the Grade A and AA eggs are bacteria-free. Operating four duck sheds, Mohd Shafie introduced this method to ensure the quality and cleanliness of salted eggs, particularly for Muslim consumers and food operators. The venture took a turning point during the movement control order in 2020 when demand for duck eggs surged while many farms halted operations. “The opportunity arose as many farms were closing but demand continued to grow,” said Mohd Shafie.
