Abstract   

Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) was supplemented with 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% concentration of goat milk whey for the growth of chicken embryo fibroblasts. The tissue culture a flask in which media was supplemented with 25% concentration of goat milk whey supported the growth of chicken embryo fibroblasts. That growth was comparable to the growth observed in tissue culture flasks having 5 and 10% of foetal calf serum. No growth was observed in which foetal calf serum or goat milk whey was not supplemented in the medium.
