Poultry production is of great economic importance nowadays and it is important to constantly improve the production quality. In this context, the bird growth and adequate bone development are necessary for successful production. In this paper we evaluate the expression of VEGF and its importance in the osteogenesis process in embryonic and fetal tissues of Gallus gallus domesticus at different gestational ages. We observed that the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is essential in the formation of cartilaginous tissue and bone in the embryo and fetus of Gallus gallus domesticus... Read More»
