Method and installation for individualising an egg with the particular laying hen

摘要

In order to assign an egg (16) the identity of laying hens (1) and other individual data, a laying nest (3) is closed once it has been entered by a hen (1). The arranged in their wing tag or in their base ring transponder (2) is read out of an installed in or at the cavity (3) antenna (4), and this identity information is transmitted to a central computer (7) transmits as soon as the hen (1) a Ei (16) laid in the cavity (3), which then rolls out rearwardly from the nest (3). It is responsive to a detector (26) which then under computer control on the one hand the targeted transport of the egg (16) with a printer (9) and on the other hand the re-opening of the cavity (3) for pushing out the laying hen (1) effected.
