Franz-Odendaal1 1Department of Biology, Mount Saint Vincent University Here, we present an organotypic culturing protocol to grow embryonic chicken organs in vitro. Using this method, the development of embryonic chicken tissue can be studied, while maintaining a high degree of control over the culture environment. Developmental Biology Optimized Ex-ovo Culturing of Chick Embryos to Advanced Stages of Development Kellie Cloney1, Tamara Anne Franz-Odendaal1 1Department of Biology, Mount Saint Vincent University Viewing and accessing the chicken embryo during development can be challenging. We have developed an ex ovo method that is simple, cost effective, and can easily be used in a classroom or research setting. This method provides access to the embryo into late stages of embryonic development (HH 40).
