Exciting products from the world’s largest poultry trade show


While the annual IPPE trade show is a great way for big companies to showcase their latest launches, it is also a melting pot of smaller businesses marketing interesting products, as Poultry World discovered.


The ORKA egg shell strength tester offers highly accurate readings on the strength of shells.


ORKA: Egg Shell Force Reader For nutrition businesses, the fastest-growing sector in poul- try production, proving the efficacy of their products is para- mount. That’s why US-based ORKA is seeing sales increase for its ‘Egg Force Reader’, which compresses egg shells, thereby measuring the strength of their shell. For the afore- mentioned companies selling supplements to poultry


rations that promise to improve egg quality, it is a measura- ble way to determine the difference between the produce of birds fed different diets. The device itself measures an egg in less than 10 seconds be- fore processing and printing shell strength data. An optional version can connect via Bluetooth to a computer, but conven- tionally it stores 1,000 readings and uploads data via cable.
