“ "Our adoption of in-ovo sexing technology marks a pivotal moment in the egg industry." ”
Mike Sencer, Executive Vice President at NestFresh
Our Take:
NestFresh's implementation of in-ovo sexing technology represents a significant leap forward in humane animal practices within the egg industry. This innovation not only addresses a longstanding ethical challenge but also sets a new standard for others to follow. By becoming the first U.S. egg producer to utilize this technology, NestFresh solidifies its role as a leader in ethical and sustainable food production, aligning closely with consumer demands for greater transparency and humane treatment of animals. The upcoming launch of in-ovo sexed eggs in mid-2025 is expected to reshape the industry and enhance NestFresh's reputation for pioneering animal welfare initiatives.
