Tax Credit for Equipment Identifying Chick Sex Before Hatching.

This law establishes a temporary business tax credit for commercial egg hatcheries in the United States. The credit encourages companies to purchase and install advanced equipment capable of determining the sex of avian embryos before they hatch. While directly benefiting businesses through tax savings, this measure aims to improve operational efficiency and potentially enhance animal welfare standards in egg production.
Key points
A new tax credit is available for commercial egg hatcheries investing in qualified in-ovo sex identification equipment.
The credit covers 50% of equipment costs in 2026, decreasing to 30% by 2028, and applies to purchase, installation, and necessary facility modifications.
The credit applies to property placed in service after December 31, 2025, but terminates after December 31, 2028.
The goal is to boost efficiency and promote technology that reduces the need for traditional post-hatch sexing methods.
