Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining, the sex of at least one embryo in an egg (12), in which the sex of the embryo is determined by means of at least one detection method which is noninvasive at least with regard to the egg (12), wherein at least one oestradiol value which characterizes the concentration of oestradiol in the egg (12) is determined by means of the noninvasive detection method and the sex is determined as a function of the oestradiol value.
Claims13
A method for determining a sex of at least one embryo in an egg, the method comprising:
- determining the sex of the embryo by at least one determination method that is noninvasive at least in relation to the egg, wherein, by the at least one noninvasive determination method, at least one estradiol value that characterizes a concentration of estradiol in the egg is determined, the sex being determined as a function of the estradiol value;
- and
- determining a shift of hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms, or hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms in the egg by the at least one noninvasive determination method, and determining the at least one estradiol value as a function of the determined shift.
