Every year, 45 million male chicks of the egg-laying breeds are killed in Germany alone because they do not lay eggs and it is uneconomical to fatten them.

SELEGGT GmbH seeks to be a significant part of the solution to this problem. They aim to further develop the research on endocrinological gender identification in the hatching egg to create practice-ready solutions that can be used to the highest extent possible in the future.

Our team’s high scientific and technical standards enable us to develop a process which is at the cutting edge of technology, easy to use and can rapidly analyse a large number of hatching eggs.

Thanks to the SELEGGT process, male chicks will soon no longer need to be killed.
