In Ovo combines animal welfare and efficiency by offering biotechnological solutions to the poultry industry. We currently focus on a long-existing problem in hatcheries: the culling of one-day-old male chickens. Our solution, a gender screening in the first half of the breeding process, has several advantages. It prevents a lot of stress the chickens experience during the current manual gender sorting process, reduces the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of the hatchery, and prevents the need to kill one-day-old chickens. This way, we make hatcheries more animal-friendly and sustainable, and increase the efficiency at the same time.
