From WUR to HatchTech
As a research assistant at WUR,
helped former PhD student and current colleague,
Carla, with her research.

PhD: the effect of
incubation temperature and
early feeding on the
health of chickens.

HatchCare:
bringing fundamental research to life
Through thorough research and proven results, we have developed an incubator where chicks receive direct feed and water for improved health and better business performance.

From chicken to turkey
to duck, to …

We love pioneering.
Together with a hatchery,
we have successfully implemented HatchCare for turkeys. Next breakthrough: ducks.

Connected to Ukraine
2019: Spiritual opening of our
branch in Ukraine. The journey in
a “sleeper” train. Whitewater rafting. And now? Our bond is even stronger.

Global breakthrough in
gender sorting

We were the first to succeed
in detecting the gender of embryos in eggs. The result: no more killing of roosters.
