L-Carnitine in rooster semen cryopreservation: Flow cytometric, biochemical and motion findings for frozen-thawed sperm.
TL;DR: Results showed that supplementation of Beltsville extender with 1 and 2 mM LC significantly improved the quality of rooster sperm quality after freeze-thawing.

Lipid Peroxidation in Fowl Spermatozoa
Noboru Fujihara,B. Howarth +1 more
TL;DR: During aerobic incubation at 40 to 41 C washed cock spermatozoa resuspended in phosphate buffer formed a thiobarbituric acid-reactive product that caused a severe impairment of motility and was associated with the peroxidized spermutozoa.

Effects of the freezing rate on viability and fertility of frozen-thawed fowl spermatozoa
F. Seigneurin,E. Blesbois +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that even without the selection of parent stock animals (for fertilizing or laying ability) and without any selection of semen before freezing or after thawing, it is possible to obtain a high level of fertility and viability with this improved glycerol method following twice-weekly insemination with 300 million sperm cells.

The Adaptive Significance of Sexual Conditioning: Pavlovian Control of Sperm Release
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sexual Pavlovian conditioning can affect reflexes involved in sperm release and thereby modulate reproductive fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of n-3 polyunsaturated dietary supplementation on the reproductive capacity of male turkeys.
TL;DR: The results indicate that an increase in the dietary ratio of n-3/n-6 PUFAs is valuable to sustain the reproductive capacity of male turkeys especially when they are getting older.

A Method of Obtaining Spermatozoa from the Domestic Fowl
W. H. Burrows,J. P. Quinn +1 more
TL;DR: The method presented in this paper consists of a manual elicitation of an ejaculatory response which is undoubtedly reflex in nature and can be obtained in a short period of time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Fertilization in Fowls
TL;DR: An attempt was made to find out whether there was any selective preference in the union of sperm and egg cells in poultry, and it was found that self-fertilization was more effective or easier to make than cross fertilization.

The Influence of Certain Feeds Upon the Production of Spermatozoa by the Domestic Chicken
TL;DR: Experimental studies pertaining to the factors which may influence fertility in poultry have been limited to hatchability thus far, and for obvious reasons such studies have been confined to the female.

A study of the spermatozoon of the fowl, with particular reference to osmiophilic bodies in the sperm head
F. B. Adamstone,L. E. Card +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to learn something of the nature of the bead‐like bodies which occur in the head of the sperm of the fowl since it was found in a previous study that they are apparently affected in a characteristic manner by vitamin E deficiency.
