Therefore, this book participate to filling the gap in the knowledge by giving complete overview on the morphogenesis of testis and male genital tract in fowl during the pre and post-hatching life by using different histological and immunohistochemical techniques. Moreover, this book will provide more understanding for researchers who deal with the organogenesis of the chick embryo and poultry reproduction.
