egg@kipster.farm<\/a> to help prompt more solutions further to Kipster\u2019s ethical and environmental standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cKipster has shown its commitment to animals and the environment by developing a more compassionate and responsible way of farming at scale through innovative barn design that makes cruel routine practices like caging and beak trimming obsolete. We applaud Kipster\u2019s commitment to adopting in-ovo sexing technology as well as its transparency about its challenges and willingness to pivot in order to stay true to its mission. We hope Kipster\u2019s leadership inspires the wider egg industry to prevent needless male chick culling.\u201d Nancy Roulston, Senior Director of Corporate Policy and Animal Science, ASPCA Farm Animal Welfare<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dMercy For Animals<\/strong> commends Kipster\u2019s leadership on adopting in-ovo sexing in the United States. Consumers are horrified to learn that male chicks in the egg industry are routinely killed \u2014 often ground up alive \u2014 shortly after hatching, as they\u2019re deemed useless by the industry. Kipster\u2019s latest commitment to in-ovo sexing demonstrates its dedication to transparency and continually improving animal welfare. Leah Garc\u00e9s, CEO and president, Mercy For Animals<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cWe are encouraged when producers, like Kipster, take innovative approaches towards improving animal welfare. By embracing technology to determine the sex of chicks before they hatch, egg producers can avoid the current practice of killing day-old male chicks, thus reducing animal suffering.\u201d Karla Dumas, Vice President, Farm Animal Protection, The Humane Society of the United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe introduction of in-ovo sexing technology will allow specialty egg producers to create a new value-added category of more ethical eggs that will be massively successful in the market. Cost-effective technological solutions to major challenges like chick culling are critical to modernizing the US egg supply chain, and restoring consumer trust in animal agriculture. We applaud Kipster for continuing to demonstrate their leadership in the egg industry by being one of the first producers to use this technology in the US.\u201d Robert Yaman, CEO, Innovate Animal Ag \u201cEach year, at just one day old, billions of male chicks are killed without a second thought\u2014deemed a \u201cby-product\u201d by the egg industry. Years ago, The Humane League was instrumental in encouraging United Egg Producers to ban this practice that had become the standard in all commercial egg production. With alternative methods available, we\u2019re eager to see male chick culling come to an end once and for all. We encourage all egg producers to adopt in-ovo sexing technologies like Kipster has to put a stop to this practice.\u201d Giovana Vieira, Senior Animal Welfare Scientist, The Humane League<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
