Abstract
It is recognized that traceability of egg would help chicken breeder farms with effective breeding selections. But to imprint any forms of code or label on the surface of each fertile egg for identification is considered too expensive to be practical. This study was conducted to develop a portable RFID based traceability system on a single-chip microcomputer (SCM) for systematic fertile egg identification for the better and reliable chicken breeding improvement. Instead of using any form of imprint identification the system we developed used location of each egg on the tray as its identification. Identification and information of parent hen was read from RFID tag labeled on each cage of the laying parent hen, weight of each egg was measured by load cell and data output in digital formats, all these digital data flows were controlled by a SCM (89C51ED2) and stored in an EEPROM (24C16A) and then the data can be sent to a PC via RS232 interface for further processing. In our primary test indicated that the system can be correctly and stably operated on data collecting, recording and transmitting. If the system is further incorporated with an egg candling system for hatchability data a management information system for chicken breeding selections will be completed.
