Contribution to the eating habits and medical care

Chickens represent highly beneficial and vital poultry and serve as an important source of meat and eggs. Moreover, in recent years, the value has been even higher because of the use of eggs in vaccine production and biopharmaceuticals.

However, today’s poultry farming faces various challenges, such as new infectious diseases, climate change, and practices to improve animal welfare. Farmers await the development and implementation of new breeding technologies.

Setsuro Tech is using genome editing technology, an innovative breeding technique, to solve problems faced by the poultry industry.
