More Information
Summary:A system, egg holding unit and methods are for non-invasively determining the fertility of an avian egg. The system includes an egg holding unit; at least one transmitter, operative for transmitting electromagnetic waves towards the at least one egg; and at least one receiver for receiving a received signal, including at least a portion of the electromagnetic waves after passing through the at least one egg placed within the egg holding unit. A processor is adapted to analyze the received signal according to a predetermined fertility determination procedure. A communication interface provides a fertility indication with respect to each one of the at least one egg. The communication interface may be coupled to a display device adapted to show fertilization data using a GUI, to one or more end users.
