R&D Solutions for Laying Hen
Due to the increasing population, the global demand for edible eggs is growing exponentially. Therefore, the development of cost-effective and practically applicable strategies to improve egg production and quality is indispensable for the growth of the global egg industry. As a company with an advanced technology platform in animal health and animal-related research and development, BioVenic is committed to providing our customers with laying hen breeding and genetic research services, laying hen health and drug development services, and laying hen nutrition and feed development services to jointly promote the advancement of the global egg industry.
The Value and Challenges of the Laying Hen Industry
The egg industry is one of the major poultry industries attracting many investments worldwide. Eggs are rich in amino acids, minerals, fatty acids, and vitamins and are an important source of protein in human daily life. In recent years, the poultry industry has faced many challenges such as global population growth, climate change, feed shortages, economic downturns, and disease outbreaks. To counter these challenges, there is an urgent need to increase productivity and improve the quality of poultry products. With advances in biotechnology, the use of technologies such as genetics, cell engineering, and gene editing to improve the production performance and egg quality traits of egg-laying hens has greatly accelerated the breeding process. In addition, more and more consumers have a strong desire to improve animal management and welfare on egg farms. Therefore, more effort should be invested in optimizing breeding, housing, and dietary strategies to ensure healthy laying hens and high product quality.
