DOI: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2025.111233 Eggs and poultry provide important sources of protein globally, driving a major industry with large economic impacts. Challenges to hatchery operations include embryo mortality, fertility, sex determination, and eggshell characteristics. These features have a substantial impact on production, but they are difficult and time-consuming to estimate. A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research team has conducted multiple studies using near infrared (NIR) and hyperspectral imagery (HSI) to evaluate chicken eggs, potentially leading to more efficient, safe, and humane production methods. They discuss their findings in a series of publications.…
