This change in production is thanks to a new technology called “in-ovo egg sexing”, which will determine the sex of a chick before development in the egg. The male eggs can then be humanely aborted and possibly be used for vaccines.
Many people are unaware that factory farming is one of the most inhumane ways to gather eggs. Of course, the female chickens are strictly used for laying eggs. But then, what happens to the male chickens? Well, since the male chickens can not be used for reproduction, they are often gotten rid of when they are young, that is if they’re not used for meat, such as chicken. Hundreds of thousands of male chicks are thrown into grinders every year, some are also gassed.
