Eggs have recently been approved for irradiation by the US Food and Drug Administration but are not yet available.
You should avoid uncooked eggs, the egg cleaning process is poor at best. Salmonella is found in the intestinal tracts of reptiles, birds, animals, insects and humans. It is found on the outside of the egg shell before the egg is washed or it may be found inside the egg if the hen was infected by Salmonella.
It is always best to cook the eggs before feeding them to your animal. Salmonella is best distroyed by heat, so cooking is the best way to insure that there is no Salmonella being past on to your pet.
I hope this better helps you to understand why we cook our eggs prior to feeding.
