Effects of dietary supplementation of different sources and levels of selenium on the semen quality and reproductive performance in aged broiler breeder roosters
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of dietary supplementation of different sources and levels of inorganic and organic selenium on the semen quality and reproductive performance of aged broiler breeder roosters was investigated.

The Effect of Comb and Wattle Removal Upon Testicular Activity in the Domestic Fowl
TL;DR: The objectives of this experiment were to determine the effects of dubbing upon semen production, as well as testis size and histology, and to report an increase in testis weight following dubbing.

Effect of Semen Diluents, Dilution Rates, and Storage Periods on Spermatozoa Motility of Different Varieties of Guinea Fowl
TL;DR: The current study will be of immense useful for the selection of semen diluents for better fertility through artificial insemination in guinea fowls.
Fertility response of indigenous turkey hens to semen dosage and oviductal spermatozoa storage / respuesta fértil de pavas criollas turcas a dosis seminales y al reservorio oviductal de espermatozoides
TL;DR: Semen insemination dosage of 0.02mL containing approximately 80x10 6 motile spermatozoa was an economic dose for insemination while 320x 10 6 (group SD0 .08 ) reduced embryo survival.

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.
