Methods and apparatus for accurately and reliably detecting the presence of eggs within pockets of an egg flat are provided. An in ovo injection apparatus includes a plurality of injection devices configured to inject substances into a respective plurality of eggs held within respective pockets of an egg flat, and a sensor associated with each pocket of the egg flat that detects the presence of an egg therewithin. Each sensor communicates whether an egg is present or not within a respective pocket to a respective injection device. Each sensor may be configured to detect injection toll position, wherein injection tool position indicates whether an egg is present or not within a respective pocket.

L'invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs permettant de détecter avec précision et fiabilité la présence ou l'absence d'oeufs dans les alvéoles d'une plaque à oeufs. On décrit un appareil d'injection in ovo qui comprend plusieurs éléments d'injection de substances dans plusieurs oeufs d'alvéoles correspondants de la plaque à oeufs, et un capteur associé à chaque alvéole détectant la présence ou l'absence d'un ouf. Les capteurs signalent cette présence/absence à l'élément d'injection correspondant, et ils peuvent même être conçus pour détecter la position d'outil d'injection, indiquant par cette position la présence ou l'absence d'oeuf dans l'alvéole correspondant.
