Abstract:
Recently, some new methods for sexing of chicken eggs by fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy through the shell membrane have been proposed. On the other hand, in another investigation, a new virus medical imaging has been suggested. In this research, summing over these considerations, a new technique for sexing of chicken eggs by virus spectroscopy through the shell membrane is proposed. It is shown that viruses outside the shell of egg can communicate with materials inside it and determine the gender of chick embryo and it's evolutions.
