Fatty acid composition in the yolk and yolk sac, embryo development, IGF-I and VEGF-A gene expressions and hatching results in eggs obtained from local and commercial breeders.

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated fatty acid composition in yolk and yolk sac, embryo development, IGF-I and VEGF-A gene expressions, and hatching results in eggs from local (Denizli and Gerze) and commercial (broiler (ROSS-308 and layer (Hy-Line W-80) breeders. A total of 1032 eggs per genotype were incubated. Eggs were weighed, numbered, and sampled at the beginning and on days 10, 13, 16, and 19 for yolk, embryo, fatty...
