Technology that detects the sex of chicks by using artificial intelligence to scan feathers will be on display at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2026 in Atlanta.
Targan will showcase its WingScan sexing technology, among many other firms displaying innovations for the poultry sector.
WingScan is already in use at hatchery operations across North America and Europe, with more than 50 systems installed by the end of 2025.
Vincent Fevrier, vice president of sales and marketing for EMEA, Europe and Oceania at Targan, said: “Across Europe, we receive great feedback from customers on performance, ease-of-use, reliability and on biosecurity. Many are returning to install additional systems or extend adoption to other hatcheries, helping to manage labour shortages, reinforce welfare standards, and improve operations.”
The platform now processes over 30 million chicks each week worldwide, delivering average accuracy of 97%.
