Abstract:
A non-invasive device for determining the fertility and/or sex of an egg. This device obtains a spectral response, specific to the shell, to an incident light signal. The device has a focusing element configured to focus the incident light signal on a surface portion and/or an internal portion of at least one layer of the shell, and elements for determining the fertility and/or sex of the egg as a function of the spectral response specific to the shell.
