A Study of Fertility Following Intergeneric Crosses among Certain Gallinaceous Birds
John J. Makos,J. Robert Smyth +1 more
TL;DR: Since the initial block to intergeneric hybridization following insemination is a reduced incidence of apparent fertility, analyses designed to elucidate this situation provide an interesting starting point.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of spermatogenesis in infertile male chickens after transplantation of cryopreserved testicular cells.
TL;DR: The present work represents the first report of production of a donor-derived healthy progeny following frozen-thawed testicular cell transplantation in adult birds and may contribute to preservation of endangered avian species and to maintaining their genetic variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Thyroid Hormone Deficiency after Sexual Maturity on Weights of Male Genital Organs and Semen Quality in Domestic Fowl
TL;DR: It is confirmed that £1.3bn will be spent on renovating Wembley Stadium in the next year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification and Clinical Application of the Inner Perivitelline Membrane Test in Different Avian Species
Judith Krohn,Dominik Fischer,Helena Schneider,Klaus Failing,Michael Lierz,Christine Ehling,Axel Wehrend +6 more
TL;DR: The IPVM of chicken eggs seems to be unsuitable to establish a functional sperm assay in other species tested but is suitable for quality evaluation of cryopreserved rooster sperm.

Influence of in vitro microwave radiation on the fertilizing capacity of turkey sperm.
C. A. Hall,C. A. Hall,Donald I. McRee,Michael J. Galvin,N. B. White,J. P. Thaxton,V. L. Christensen +6 more
TL;DR: Turkey sperm exposed to 2.45-GHz microwave radiation in a temperature-controlled wave-guide apparatus demonstrated that, for the conditions used in these experiments, microwave radiation has no effect on the fertilizing capacity of turkey sperm.

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.
