The US egg industry faces a harsh reality, culling approximately 350 million male chicks annually due to their inability to lay eggs, rendering them financially unviable. However, innovative technology is now offering a compassionate alternative, potentially revolutionizing the industry's approach to male chicks. By embracing this new method, the egg industry can reduce unnecessary slaughter, promoting a more humane and sustainable farming practice. This shift could also lead to increased transparency and improved animal welfare standards, aligning with growing consumer concerns about ethical farming and sustainable agriculture.
