The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), a well-vascularized extra-embryonic tissue located underneath the eggshell, has a successful history as a biological platform for the molecular analysis of cancer including viral oncogenesis, [8] carcinogenesis, [9] tumor xenografting, [1] [10] [11 ...

    Here, the embryo is grown within the confines of the egg shell. In this method, fertilized eggs are rotated inside an incubator for three days in order to prevent the embryo from sticking to the membranes of the shell. A hole is then created on the eggshell and wrapped with a film to prevent dehydration and infections. The egg is then ...

    The thin-shelled and shell-less eggs are so fragile and thus may get eaten by the chickens and get disregarded as litters. The shells may also be rough or chalky. Watery egg whites and a reduction in egg size may also happen as well. [13] [14] The affected chicken flocks show a failure to reach a peak egg production. The fall in egg production ...
