Perforated egg collection (usually referred to in poultry farming by setting up a hole structure in the egg nest or egg rack, which is convenient for farmers to collect eggs quickly and efficiently) has significant advantages in modernized farming, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Improve the efficiency of egg collection
Automated or semi-automated design:
Through tilted egg racks or hole designs with conveyor functions, poultry eggs can be automatically rolled down to the collection area, reducing the time for manual picking up one by one.
Example: With the adoption of perforated egg racks in large-scale egg farms, the number of eggs picked up per hour by a single person can be increased from 300 to more than 800.
Reduce the risk of missed picking:
The hole design of the fixed position makes the eggs stored centrally and avoids the leakage caused by the blockage of the egg nest or the interference of sundries.

2. Reduce egg breakage rate

Reduce manual contact:
The automated collection system reduces manual rummaging and handling, and reduces damage caused by improper operation.
Data: The breakage rate of manual egg picking is about 1%-3%, while mechanical perforated collection can reduce the breakage rate to less than 0.5%.
Buffer protection design:
The edge of the hole and the collection area are usually wrapped with soft materials (e.g. rubber, sponge) to prevent the eggs from breaking on impact when rolling.

3. Optimize farm environment management

Keep egg nests clean:
Timely egg collection avoids prolonged nest accumulation, reduces fecal contamination and bacterial growth, and lowers the risk of surface contamination of eggs.
Impact: A clean nest environment reduces the risk of diseases (e.g. salpingitis) caused by hygiene problems in birds.
Reduces pressure on farm density:
Efficient egg picking system reduces the time of farming personnel staying in the poultry house, reducing the stress reaction of birds caused by personnel activities.

4. Enhance data management capability
Accurate recording of egg-laying data:
Combined with sensors or counting devices, real-time statistics of egg production in each area can be provided to provide data support for breeding management.
Application: Optimize the feed formula and adjust the light cycle through data analysis to improve the overall egg production rate.
Traceability Management:
Collected eggs can be labeled by batch for quality traceability and sales management.

5. Reduce labor costs
Reduce labor requirements:
Automated perforated egg collection system can replace part of the manual labor, especially suitable for areas with high labor costs.
Comparison: traditional farms need 3-4 people to complete the work of picking up eggs, the use of automated systems only need one person to monitor the equipment.

6. Adapt to the needs of large-scale farming
Modular design:
The perforated egg rack and collection system can be flexibly adjusted according to the scale of farming to meet the diversified needs from small family farms to large-scale intensive farms.

7. Promote breeding standardization
Unified operation process:
The standardized perforated egg collection system makes the time, frequency and operation mode of egg collection fixed, reducing the influence of human differences on the breeding effect.
Applicable scenes and precautions

Applicable scenes:
Laying hens, ducks, quails and other poultry farming, especially suitable for high egg production rate varieties (such as Hyland Brown, Roman Pink).
Precautions:
It is necessary to check whether the holes are blocked regularly to avoid system failure due to broken eggshells or stuck foreign objects.

The perforated egg pick-up system has become a standard technology for modern poultry farming through three core advantages: improved efficiency, reduced breakage rate and environmental optimization. Its automated design not only saves labor costs, but also improves farming efficiency through data management, which is a key link in promoting industrial scale and standardization.
