The effect of methyl-beta-cyclodextrin on DNA absorption and quality of posttransfected sperm.
TL;DR: In this paper, different concentrations of MBCD (0, 1, 2, and 4 mmol) were assessed for the transfection of genetically exogenous construction to rooster sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of sex ratios, spiking and extra artificial insemination on the breeding efficiency of broiler breeders.
TL;DR: It can be established that increasing the sperm count in the hens' oviducts in any way could not improve fertility in the last third of the production cycle and the results suggest that the expensive and labour-intensive spiking technique used in broiler breeder management is useless.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of turkey spermiophages with regard to traits common to macrophages
TL;DR: This research clearly identifies SMO as having macrophage-like activities, Accordingly, these cells may possess the ability to process and present antigen via histocompatibility receptors and lead to immune directed responses, including antibody production or activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes.
Journal Article
Polyphenols as an antioxidant agent improves chicken sperm qualities during cold storage.
TL;DR: In this paper, an in vitro study was carried out to assess the addition of polyphenols in the chicken seminal plasma on sperm quality and antioxidant status at different storage periods, and the sperm motility invariably increased in all treatment groups (50, 100 ppm).
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of native chicken breeds (Gallus gallus domesticus) for the development of suitable methods of Cantabrian capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus cantabricus) semen cryopreservation

TL;DR: The results suggest that sperm from both domestic and wild species had a similar response to freezing–thawing processes, and Mediterranean chickens may be used as a suitable model for developing sperm freezing protocols that can be extrapolated to threatened capercaillie populations.

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.
