ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting eggs, in which the eggs are subjected to a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) treatment for obtaining an NMR image and the eggs are selected on the basis of the NMR image.
An apparatus for processing eggs includes egg supply means, egg selection means, and egg discharge means, the egg selection means having at least one apparatus for making at least one NMR image of an egg, and means being provided for controlling the egg discharge means on the basis of the at least one NMR image.
