We are incredibly proud that #HatchTech has been nominated for the Innovation Award Regio Foodvalley 2024! 🎉 You can vote now on our innovative solution for in-ovo sexing marks a breakthrough in the sustainable poultry industry. With this technology, we can not only save valuable resources but also put an end to the global ethical dilemma of chick culling. Every year, 6 billion laying hens are hatched worldwide, but just as many male chicks are born without economic value, traditionally destroyed on their first day of life. Thanks to our technology, we can determine the gender of an embryo at an early stage using PCR testing, ensuring male eggs are no longer hatched. This also increases efficiency, saves energy, and supports circular agriculture. Vote now for this inspiring innovation: https://lnkd.in/eirx3jcU A huge thanks to our amazing teams at Respeggt Group and HatchTech Incubation Technology for their daily effort and dedication. We look forward to the award ceremony and hope you will keep your fingers crossed for us! 🍀
