ABSTRACT:
A method has been developed for the injection of muscle tissue of an embryonic chicken in ovo. An apparatus for such injection in a plurality of eggs simultaneously has also been developed, where the apparatus is composed of a an engaging means for the eggs, an injection means to insert an elongate needle through the eggshell to a depth of about 7/8 inch to 1.5 inch into the shoulder or breast of the embryo, and a positioning means to position the needle about 1 to 5 degrees of offset of the long axis of the egg. The apparatus can delivery a variety of substances to the muscle tissue of the embryonic chicken in ovo.
