Review maps ways to cut wasted eggs and cull less day-old chicks

A new review in Animals examines two major bottlenecks in poultry production: egg quality drops before incubation and the routine culling of male chicks after hatch. It finds that lab tests can be accurate under controlled conditions, but wider use is limited by performance across batches and practical safety and scale issues. The authors propose an end-to-end, connected workflow to help bridge the gap from lab to farms.
