Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for processing sets of eggs with improved sanitation treatment are provided. A method includes obtaining information about a set of eggs to be processed in ovo, and/or determining the number of non-live eggs in the set, selecting a sanitizing treatment for in ovo processing equipment to be used in processing the set of eggs, wherein the selected sanitizing treatment is based on the obtained information and/or number of non-live eggs in the set, processing the set of eggs via the in ovo processing equipment (e.g., injecting a substance into the eggs, and/or removing material from the eggs), and sanitizing the in ovo processing equipment according to the selected sanitizing treatment. A selected sanitizing treatment may include increased frequency and/or duration, increased concentration of sanitizing fluid, applying sanitizing fluid to the shell of the eggs, and/or adding/increasing an antibiotic to a substance injected into the eggs.
