The studies conducted aimed at evaluating the frequency of chromosome abnormalities in early embryos of 8 breeds/varieties of geese originating from the Southern and Northern parts of Poland, since the seventies of the XX century, without selection, avoiding interrelations. In total 1927 eggs were evaluated, of which 485 were not fertile. The karyotypic survey was performed on 1442 embryos and showed that 65 of them (4.5%) had an abnormal karyotype. Among the chromosome abnormalities the principal were: 1AZ haploidy; haploid-diploid chimerism 1AZ/2AZZ, 1AZ/2AZW; mosaic 2AZZ/3AZZZ. One embryo proved to be a pure tetraploid 4A/ZZZZ. The translocation or inversion type of structural chromosome abnormalities were not observed. A considerable variability was observed in the frequency of chromosome abnormalities between the geese varieties examined: from 2.99% in the Pomeranian variety to 7.58% in the case of the Hunched Breed. In the remaining six breeds/varieties the per cent of karyotype changes ranged from 3.38 to 4.73.
