Abrégé

The present disclosure concerns a system (100) for determining a gender of a fertile egg. The system utilizes measured data (20) indicative of radiation responses of an egg to illumination with at least two wavelengths. The radiation responses include transmissions of the illumination through at least a portion of the egg and/or reflections of the illumination from the egg. The system (100) is configured and operable to process the received measured data (20), to determine the variation over time of a relation between the intensities of the radiation responses at the at least two wavelengths, and to generate gender data based thereon.

Abrégé

A method and system are presented for use in examining an egg by monitoring radiation response from the egg during an incubation period. The monitoring comprises analyzing measured data indicative of the radiation response from the egg being detected at different time intervals of an incubation period, identifying predetermined dynamics in intensity variations of said radiation response during the different time intervals, and identifying in different time intervals presence of an alive embryo in said egg, and development stages and age of the embryo being developed.

Abrégé

Monitoring viability of multiple eggs in an incubation tray. An optical tester unit is locatable entirely above in proximity to the incubation tray while avoiding contact with the eggs. The optical tester unit operates by emitting electromagnetic radiation into the interior of the eggs and sensing a portion of the electromagnetic radiation scattered from the interior of the eggs.
