Culture of Chicken Embryos Using Aigamo Duck Eggshells.

概要

Chicken embryos incubated for 3 days were cultured using Aigamo duck eggshells or chicken double-yolked eggshells. The hatching rates were 18% (2/11) for Aigamo duck eggshells and 30% (3/10) for chicken double-yolked eggshells. The hatched chicks reached sexual maturity and showed normal reproductive performance. The thickness of the Aigamo duck eggshell was almost the same as that of the chicken eggshell, but the eggshell membranes were about three times thicker. The number of pores per cm2 eggshell was about 30% less in the Aigamo duck eggshell compared with those in the chicken double-yolked eggshell. The results show that Aigamo duck eggshells could be used for culturing chicken embryos as a surrogate eggshell.
