Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Quality Control in Poultry Industry: Use the Egg Detection model to inspect eggs on a conveyor belt or in egg cartons, classifying them as Fertile Egg (FE), Defective Egg (DE), or Unfertilized Egg (UF). This ensures only high-quality eggs reach the market and reduces human errors in manual inspection.

2. Egg Sorting for Hatcheries: Implement the model to automatically sort eggs in hatcheries based on their respective classes (FE, DE, UF). This will facilitate accurate separation of fertile eggs for incubation and help improve the efficiency of the breeding process.

3. Smart Agriculture Systems: Integrate the Egg Detection model into advanced agricultural management systems to monitor the health and productivity of poultry farms. This can help farmers take appropriate actions to optimize egg production and maintain healthy livestock.

4. Wildlife Conservation and Ecological Research: Utilize the Egg Detection model to study the reproductive health of various bird species in their natural habitats by analyzing collected images of their eggs. Researchers can use this data to monitor species population dynamics and evaluate the impact of environmental changes.

5. Education and Training: Incorporate the Egg Detection model in educational materials and virtual training tools for poultry farm workers and field researchers. This helps teach novices how to identify different types of eggs and assists in building hands-on skills for inspecting and managing eggs in real-world scenarios.

In 2024, the retail price for a dozen eggs in the United States was 4.15 U.S. dollars. Egg prices in the United States peaked in this year. Previously, the highest average price was in 2015, when a dozen eggs cost 2.75 U.S. dollars on average. U.S. egg production The United States was one of the leading producers of eggs in the world in 2021, ranking fourth behind China, India, and Indonesia. In that year, approximately 110.7 billion eggs were produced in the United States. There are two main categories that farm chickens fall into: broiler chickens and laying hens. The first are raised for meat and the second are raised for laying eggs. The U.S. state with the most laying hens is Iowa, with about 40.2 million in 2022. Some of the other top egg producing states include Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Egg retail in the United States Perhaps because eggs are uniform in taste and appearance and most consumers cannot tell one brand of chicken egg apart from another, private label eggs have the highest sales among fresh egg brands in the United States. Eggland’s Best is the leading name brand of fresh eggs in the United States, with sales of 274.55 million U.S. dollars in 2023. The amount that U.S. consumer units spend on eggs varies from region to region. In 2021, consumers in the Western United States spent an average of about 107 U.S. dollars on eggs over the course of the year. The Midwestern United States had the lowest average expenditure on eggs in that year.

If you require the data in a more accessible format, please contact julie.rumsey@defra.gsi.gov.uk

Data users: 1. The information in this notice is used by the UK government and the EU as evidence for assessing market conditions and evaluating agricultural policy. The farmgate price of UK eggs are required quarterly under Regulation EC 1165/2008 (Animal Production). 2. Representatives of the egg and poultry industry are also major users of the data. The data on egg production volumes and egg type are the key sector indicators for the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC) as they reflect the size of the national laying flock. The Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA), part of the Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board, rely on egg production data as a good indicator of the commercial layer flock and associated feed demand and hence grain usage by the sector. Our statistics are also often heavily referenced in industry publications such as “Poultry World”. Methodology: 3. Defra runs a quarterly survey of registered UK egg packing stations. It is a voluntary sample survey of 27 respondents that collects information on throughput by production type and prices of graded eggs and sales of ungraded eggs. The response rate is typically 100 per cent and the survey accounts for 75 per cent of eggs packed in the UK. The survey figures are raised up to give UK estimates using information on the number of commercial laying hens, average egg yields, average mortality rates, the proportion of UK eggs that go through packing stations. Throughput by egg type for packing stations not surveyed is calculated using data provided by packing stations responding to the survey. The raised figures are published in this statistics notice and the associated datasets. The figures in this notice therefore represent all Class A eggs passed over a grader in the UK, including seconds. The prices obtained on the survey are weighted according to the volume of eggs packed by each packing station to obtained average prices for the UK. From 2012, prices include any bonus payments paid to producers. The Egg Processor survey is a quarterly survey of all registered egg processors. It is a voluntary survey of 13 respondents run by Defra that collects information on the number of eggs bought by egg processors and the quantity of egg products produced. The response rate is typically 100 per cent . These figures come from HM Revenue and Customs, but are validated and adjusted if necessary prior to publication. The Standard Industrial Classification codes used to produce each table are given in the footnotes below the tables. 4. In tables that show numbers of eggs the units used are 'thousand cases'. There are 360 eggs in one case. 5. The data are subject to a variety of validation checks which identify inconsistencies in the data. All data are cleaned prior to publication. 6. The percentage changes shown are calculated using unrounded figures. Thus any percentage changes calculated using the published (rounded) figures may not equate exactly with the changes shown. Revisions policy: 7. Figures in this dataset are provisional and subject to revision. We will provide information about any revisions we make to previously published information in this dataset, and the associated statistics notice. Revisions could occur for various reasons including : a. if we have not received survey data from respondents we make an estimate based on their previous returns. These estimates will be replaced with actual survey data when it is received. b. survey respondents occasionally supply amended figures for previous periods. c. we may also revise the methodology used to raise the survey data to give UK totals. This quarter there are no revisions to previously published throughput figures

The SNOMNH bird collection was established at the time of origin of the Museum in 1899. While two fires in the Museum (the last in 1918) destroyed the bird collection existing then, the collection subsequently has been developed into one of significant local, regional, and international importance. It is one of the largest in the central United States. Also associated with the bird collection is an extensive library of books and journals.

In many egg-laying animals, some females spread their clutch among several nests. The fitness effects of this reproductive tactic are debated. Using mathematical modelling and field observations we analyse an unexplored benefit of egg spreading in brood parasitic and other breeding systems: reduced time at risk for offspring. If a clutch takes many days to lay until incubation and embryo development starts after the last egg, a parasitic female by spreading her eggs can reduce offspring time in the vulnerable nest, at risk of predation or other destruction. The model suggests that she can achieve much of this benefit already by spreading her eggs among a few nests, even if her total clutch is large. Field data from goldeneye ducks Bucephala clangula show that egg spreading enables a fecund female to lay a much larger than average clutch, without increasing offspring time at risk in a nest. This advantage increases with female condition (fecundity) and can markedly raise female reproductive success. These results help explain the puzzle of nesting parasites in some precocial birds, which lay eggs in the nests of other females before laying in their own nest. Risk reduction by egg spreading may also play a role in the evolution of other breeding systems, for instance some forms of polyandry with male parental care.
