About
eggXYt is an Israeli biotechnology company focused on creating a sustainable future for the livestock industry. Their flagship technology uses CRISPR gene-editing to enable non-invasive, high-throughput sex detection in freshly laid chicken eggs, before incubation. This eliminates the need to cull billions of male chicks annually, addressing ethical, environmental, and economic concerns in egg and poultry production. Beyond sex determination, eggXYt is also developing solutions for Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) resistance in chickens and enhanced protein secretion for various industries.
