METHOD FOR DETERMINING MORPHOMETRIC PARAMETERS OF EGGS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A01K43/00 

FIELD: poultry farming.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to evaluation of eggs quality and can be used in poultry farming and poultry processing industry in the process of automated egg sorting. Method for evaluating the quality of eggs involves determining morphometric parameters of eggs. In addition, the area of the cross section and the longitudinal section, the angle of the sharp end of the egg are measured, and the ratio of these values is used to determine the shape index: I=S₂/S₁·sinα, where α is the angle of the sharp end of the egg. Cross-sectional area of the egg S₂ is defined as S₂=π·(d/2)², where d is cross-section diameter; and the area of the longitudinal section of the egg S₁is determined similarly to the area of the ellipse , where D1 is the major semi-axis of the longitudinal section; D2 - minor axle of longitudinal section.

EFFECT: use of a non-contact method of evaluating eggs and determining morphometric parameters without opening them.
