Non-invasive and cost-efficient

CHEGGY is ready for practical use

The animal welfare-friendly alternative to the practice of culling day-old male chicks is in ovo sex determination with CHEGGY. This fully automated machine uses hyperspectral imaging technology that identifies the gender in the brown layer lines by embryonic plumage colours. Technology that is currently used for sex determination does so in the second-third of the incubation period.

CHEGGY is able to safely check up to 20,000 eggs per hour. Thanks to its non-invasive process, there is no risk of contamination and no risk of injuries to the embryo.
