Wynnstay’s investment into CracklessEgg™technology is continuing to help poultry feed customers save hundreds or even thousands of pounds in wasted, cracked eggs on their poultry farms.
The electronic yellow egg sits next to real eggs, rolling gently along with them, as they go through the complete production and packaging process.
But what separates it from its fragile, shell-bound neighbours is that it is impossible to crack.
Instead of ending up chipped and covered in the yolk, the ‘artificially intelligent, bespoke egg records any knocks and dents experienced by real eggs through its microsensors, which are linked up to a tablet through state-of-the-art wireless technology.

The CracklessEgg™ is an amazing addition to our on-farm service package, we are extremely impressed with it.
I’ve never seen anything else as high-spec as this and I was so impressed with a demonstration of it in Germany, that we had one made for us at Wynnstay, which came from Canada.
“As we follow our CracklessEgg™ along the production process, real-time reporting pinpoints where hairline cracks that are invisible to the naked eye occur and where eggs experience more damage, or can break on transfer or around bends.
Keeping the Shell Intact
The CracklessEgg™ is an amazing addition to our on-farm service package, we are extremely impressed with it. I’ve never seen anything else as high-spec as this and I was so impressed with a demonstration of it in Germany, that we had one made for us at Wynnstay, which came from Canada.

CracklessEgg™ identifies and measures root causes of eggshell damage, from point of lay to final packaging. Each measurement is repeated at least 10 times and recorded to find a shock-level trend. Damage in the egg-handling process creates a mess and reduces product quality and bottom-line profit. Customers using our CracklessEgg can measure the impacts eggs are receiving during processing.
This is fabulous news for our high-end egg contacts. Our poultry team members can visit your farm with this ingenious egg and give you tangible results within a week. We can then revisit your farm, to reduce breakages even further, down to 2% or 1%, streamlining your business.
In most cases, overall shell damage from hairline cracks and total shell failure can be reduced by over 50%, taking graded seconds from cracks in the best cases below 1%. In one instance, the CracklessEgg™ has identified a number of areas needing attention. After some fine-tuning of the system, gradings reported a 61% fall in cracks, saving that farm over £4,500 in downgraded eggs and losses. We’ve set ourselves the challenge of reducing this even more.
Such a service can cost £500 a day but we offer this as an added-value, free service to our Wynnstay Bulk Poultry Feed customers. This is part of a host of on-farm services we can offer poultry farms, contact us today to see how we can help you and your business.
