Today marks a significant milestone in the poultry hatchery industry as Ceva Santé Animale (Ceva), leader in hatchery technology proudly announces the launch of its new automatic day-old-chick Gender Sorting equipment for broilers.

Recognizing the need for a more efficient and cost-effective solution, Ceva has developed modular and compact Gender Sorting equipment for day-old broilers that promises to streamline production and enhance operational efficiency for hatcheries worldwide.

• By automating the gender sorting process, hatcheries can standardize production and eliminate the dependency on skilled professionals, thereby reducing labour costs and increasing overall productivity.
• The implementation of this advanced machine not only ensures greater speed and precision in the sorting process but also significantly improve the welfare of day-old-chicks.
• The newfound efficiency in gender separation enables broiler males and females to be reared separately in the farm, allowing better performance and more adecuated feeding programs, matching their different needs.

"Ceva is a world leader in poultry vaccination, especially at the hatchery. Having access to state-of-the-art vaccination methods and hatchery technology is a constant demand from Ceva’s customers - we are very glad to continue the journey with this new equipment for the benefit of our customers and the poultry industry", said Sylvain Comte, Poultry Franchise Director at Ceva Santé Animale.

Since many years, Ceva has committed to deliver innovation at the hatchery to support poultry producers addressing the global challenges, like labour scarcity, and delivering sustainable production.
