EGG SAVE Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill creates a new tax credit for commercial egg hatcheries that buy and install special equipment. This technology lets farmers tell if a chick is male or female before the egg even hatches.
• The tax credit starts at 50 percent of the cost for equipment set up in 2026. It drops to 40 percent in 2027 and 30 percent in 2028 before the program ends.
• To get the tax break, the equipment must be at least 95 percent accurate. It must also be used at a facility located within the United States.
• This matters because male chicks cannot lay eggs and are usually killed after they hatch. This technology helps the industry become more efficient and addresses animal welfare concerns by dealing with the eggs earlier.
• The credit covers the cost of the machines, the installation, and any changes needed to the building to make the equipment work.
