Innovation in Bird Conservation. Females are important too!

Mar 25, 2025 | Cover page, Geology and Biodiversity, Life and health, News

I want to share with you an innovative technology for bird conservation. Your opinion will help us to evaluate the possibility of implementing this technology in genebanks and start conserving avian females.

Developed at the Roslin Institute (Scotland) and by the National Centre for Biodiversity and Gene Conservation (Hungary), this technology addresses a key problem in the preservation of chickens and other birds.

🔎 In poultry and other birds, currently only semen from males is preserved, excluding oocytes from females. This is not ideal, since females:
✅ Determine the sex of the chicks.
✅ They carry unique genetic material that males do not transmit.
✅ Without their conservation, restoring a breed can take 7 generations instead of 1.

This new technology seeks to change that. Give us your opinion by answering 7 questions https://form.typeform.com/to/LdxCIr05 , in another minute.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your help!
