Bioimpedance-Measurement-Based Non-Invasive Method for In Ovo Chicken Egg Sexing.

Day-old male chick culling is one of the world's most inhumane problems in the poultry industry. Every year, seven billion male chicks are slaughtered in laying-hen hatcheries due to their higher feed exchange rate, lower management than female chicks, and higher production costs. This study describes a novel non-invasive method for determining the gender of chicken eggs.

A New Biorecognition-Element-Free IDμE Sensor for the Identification and Quantification of .

The label-free biosensor has emerged as an effective tool for the purpose of early detection of causative pathogens such as as a preventive measure. In this study, a biorecognition-element-free interdigitated microelectrode (IDμE) sensor is designed and developed with this in mind, with good reliability and affordability. Results show that the designed sensor can identify with good selectivity using an impedance and capacitance of 7.
