Conservation of Poultry Germplasm Through Cryopreservation of Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs)
Indonesia has abundantly available genetic potential of local poultry that needs to be conserved for future use of poultry development. Live conservation of poultry, both in-situ and ex-situ, would be very expensive and has a risk of mortality due to diseases such as avian influenza. Cryopreservatio...
