שוות כמו ביצי זהב: חברת Huminn-Poultry מציגה...
Huminn-Poultry, an Israeli-American company, has developed a genetic technology that could save billions of male chicks from being culled. The company has created a chicken that only lays female eggs, which could revolutionize the poultry industry. Currently, male chicks are culled immediately after hatching as they do not produce meat in the required quantity. The company plans to sell the rights to use the technology to organizations that raise chicks. The technology has been approved by European authorities and is expected to be approved in the US soon.

Israeli tech aims to block hatching of billions of male chicks fated for culling
NRS Poultry, a research group at Rehovot’s Volcani Institute, has developed genetic technology that can determine the sex of a chicken before it hatches, potentially eliminating the need to cull male chicks. The technology involves introducing a gene to the Z chromosome of the mother hen to halt the creation of male chicks at the embryonic stage. The company now needs to convince chicken breeding companies to integrate their biological solution. Alternatively, several food technology companies are developing plant-based egg substitutes, including SavorEat, which is patenting a cellulose-based egg substitute that is vegan and cholesterol-free.
