The days of male chick culling could soon be history. Respeggt’s groundbreaking in-ovo sexing technology is setting a new standard for the poultry industry, combining advanced DNA testing with full automation to identify male eggs before incubation.

By streamlining processes, cutting costs, and addressing ethical concerns, this innovation not only improves hatchery efficiency but also paves the way for a more humane and sustainable future in poultry farming.

Edwin Zeller, Chief commercial officer, explains more about the Fully Integrated Respeggt CQ7000 and the thought behind it in this video.

Respeggt Free of Chick Culling

Our mission is ending male chick culling in the egg production. That’s why we stand for: ‘Free of Chick Culling.’ Every year, several billion male chicks are killed worldwide because of their uneconomical value for the egg production. We, at respeggt , have been looking for a solution to avoid this ethical dilemma in society and therefore created a patented and innovative process for gender identification in the hatching egg the so called SELEGGT process. The procedure can easily be implemented in the global egg production and be recognized by the heart-shaped respeggt label ‘Free of Chick Culling’ on all egg boxes. The label guarantees eggs from a supply chain which complies with the principals of the respeggt promise. The first eggs with the respeggt label have been on the market since November 2018. To achieve a global egg production ‘Free of Chick Culling’, we at respeggt offer all hatcheries the services of gender identification in the hatching egg as well as a supply chain verification.
