Abstract
  • Similar to the mammalian placenta with the chorioallantois and amnion, the avian yolk sac membrane (YSM) is comprised of the area vitellina (AVI) and area vasculosa (AVA), respectively. Understanding incorporation and delivery of nutrients (especially fatty acids) between these membranes and the developing embryo is important for improving hatchability and survival of chicks during early life. Due to its relative proximity to the yolk, we hypothesized that the AVI would be higher in fatty acid composition compared to the AVA.
