Shout out to NestFresh Eggs and Kipster, who put the U.S. on the board. While progress is underway, the U.S. egg industry still has a lot of catching up to do to avoid the unnecessary routine culling of male chicks. Who will be next to take the step forward?
Innovate Animal Ag's 2025 In-Ovo Sexing and Market Penetration and Forecast Report: https://lnkd.in/gEteUY97 Key Findings: 🔶 28% of the EU’s 393 million hen flock was sexed with in-ovo technology—an 8-point increase in one year. 🔶 Since 2022, 175 million male embryos have been removed before hatching. 🔶 EU adoption has compounded at 147% over the last four years, outpacing the early scale-up curves of LED lighting, iPhones, color TV, internet, AC, and home electricity. 🔶 In-ovo sexing is just beginning its rollout in the US, and currently represents less than 1% of the US’ 310 million head commercial layer flock. In Norway, in-ovo sexing has hit a 20-25% penetration. 🔶 The global penetration of in-ovo sexing is expected to continue its sharp growth in the next few years, led by rapid expansion in the US, continued strength in Europe, and forecasted penetration into greenfield markets like Australia, Canada, UK, and Brazil.
