Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing an invasive test on an egg, such as determining the gender of an embryo in an egg, comprising the step of: providing a passage to the interior of an egg. The present invention also relates to a method for determining the gender of an embryo in an egg.
Claims15
A method for preparing an invasive test on an egg, such as determining the gender of an embryo in an egg, comprising the steps of:
- providing a passage to the allantoic fluid of an egg;
- providing a sealing means for sealing the passage;
- and
- arranging the sealing means in and/or on the passage.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising of manufacturing the sealing means from a quick-drying material.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising of manufacturing the sealing means at least partially from a biomarker and the remaining part from a quick-drying material.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising of manufacturing the sealing means substantially from a biomarker.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising of providing the passage which forms a connection between the allantoic fluid of the egg and the sealing means.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising the step of:
- providing the egg, which is a chicken egg, prior to providing the passage.
The method as claimed in any of the foregoing claims, further comprising of providing the passage using a laser.
A method for determining the gender of an embryo in an egg, comprising the steps of:
- providing a passage to the allantoic fluid of an egg;
- providing a sealing means with a biomarker for sealing the passage;
- arranging the sealing means in and/or on the passage;
- allowing the sealing means to react to the interior of the egg;
- and
- assessing the reaction of the sealing means to the allantoic fluid of the egg, wherein the reaction is an indication of the gender of the embryo in the egg.
An egg on which a sealing means is arranged according to the method as defined in at least one of the foregoing claims.
