Abstract

Embryo stage is one of the critical periods in reprogramming of epigenome, while it is vulnerable to the impacts of nutrients and other external environment. Different from mammal, embryonic development of poultry is separated from matrix, so the influences of nutrients to embryonic development through injecting specific nutrients into hatching egg can be assessed. This review summarized the research situation of hatching egg injection; meanwhile, combining with the mechanism of reprogramming of epigenome in embryonic period, the review elaborated its vital role in the research of poultry nutri-epigenetics.
