In-ovo sexing has the potential to end the practice of male chick culling — and the technology seems to have finally caught up to the ambition.
Greg hosted a panel on the topic at the Peak Conference, featuring Nancy Roulston, Senior Director of Corporate Policy and Animal Science at the ASPCA; Juliana Machado, Geneticist and Data Scientist at Hendrix Genetics; Casey Downey from Innovate Animal Ag; and Dr. Larry Sadler, Senior Vice President of the United Egg Producers.
