Poultry

[Bello Bashir Bello]

Egg candling is the process of shining a bright light through an eggshell in a dark room to inspect its internal contents, traditionally done with a candle but now using LED,. It is crucial for assessing embryo fertility, monitoring development, and removing rotten or non-viable eggs to prevent contamination and improve hatchery efficiency

Egg candling is shining a bright light through an egg to observe embryo development, air cell size, and detect cracks or abnormalities.
It’s important for identifying fertile versus infertile or dead embryos, removing poor-quality eggs, and monitoring incubation progress to improve hatchability and egg quality.

Egg candling is holding an egg against a bright light to inspect internal contents (air cell, embryo development, blood spots, cracks) and shell quality.
It’s important for hatchery selection and quality control—identifying fertile/infertile or damaged eggs, monitoring embryo growth, and removing defective eggs to improve hatchability and market quality.
