Omegga is developing a non-invasive technology for early sex determination in hatching eggs to end chick culling.
To this end, the company uses an AI-supported spectral measurement method that precisely and cost-effectively determines the sex of chicken embryos before the seventh day of incubation. Omegagga's approach thus goes far beyond current animal welfare laws. It provides egg-laying farms with an alternative to the culling of hatched male chicks or their resource-intensive rearing.

The company uses an AI-powered, spectral method to determine the sex of chicken embryos precisely and cost-effectively before the seventh day of incubation. Omegga's approach exceeds current animal welfare laws, providing hatcheries with an alternative to chick culling or resource-intensive raising of male laying hen chicks. Omegga was founded by successful entrepreneurs (ProGlove), who are alumnae of the three Munich universities (TUM, LMU, HM). The company received funding from the European Commission, EIT Food, StartLife, and the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE).
