Meet Ella
Introducing Ella: the technology that sets new standards in in ovo-sexing. Ella delivers speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency. Using cutting-edge mass spectrometry, Ella processes up to 4,800 eggs per hour with over 98% accuracy – setting new industry benchmarks.
At the heart of Ella’s technology lies sample-based testing powered by mass spectrometry, a Nobel Prize-winning technology with a century-long track record in medical diagnostics. By detecting our unique biomarker, Ella can determine gender as early as day nine of incubation.
The benefits to hatcheries
Ella is the fast and accurate solution that screens from day 9 at low costs.
We create value for hatcheries while advancing animal welfare and sustainability. Ella ensures only females are hatched, thereby preventing the culling of male chicks.
Cull free eggs are more valuable. Implementation of Ella is an animal welfare improvement that also offers the opportunity to increase a hatchery’s margins. While complying to laws and meeting consumer demands.
