Egg whites are only a problem when fed by themselves regularly. Egg yolk contains enough biotin to counteract the effect, so feeding whole raw eggs is fine.
Biotin deficiency is only likely to occur when someone is fed a high amount of JUST egg whites (some sources say 24 egg whites per day for humans to be affected).
