Comparison between Low/Programmable Freezing and Fast Freezing Protocols of Hungarian Guinea Fowl Semen
TL;DR: A comparative approach was used to evaluate two freezing protocols for guinea fowls: the modified slow programmable method using 10% ethylene glycol (EG), and the newly applied fast freezing method (pellet formation) with 6% dimethylacetamide (DMA).
Developing assisted reproductive technologies to promote ex situ raptor conservation
TL;DR: The objective of the studies has been to first understand the basic reproductive biology of selected raptors and then to apply this new knowledge to developing assisted breeding.

Influence of the Thyroid Status on Volume and Concentration of Cock Semen
TL;DR: Evidence is now available to show that the thyroid hormone is implicated in the development and normal function of the testis, and results appear to vary with the dosage level, duration of treatment and age of the birds.

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.
