Effect of Dietary Levels of Calcium, Carnitine and Zinc on Semen Quality Characteristics of Cross-Bred Chicken
TL;DR: Inclusion of 2 per cent calcium, 250 mg/kg of carnitine, 100 mg/ kg of zinc and their combinations in feed improved the sperm motility and concentration in cross-bred cocks.
Male Turkey reproduction : modifications of daylength and light intensity to increase semen quantity and quality; a study of semen quality characteristics, reproductive hormones, poult production, and behavior /
TL;DR: Fertility and hatchability were determined following the artificial insemination of semen obtained in the second and third experiments, and the total number of live sperm and motility was greatest for the 16L:8D birds in the first and second experiments.

Timing and Interval Effects of Repeated Inseminations by Roosters on the Fathering of Chicks.
TL;DR: The present study investigated the effects of timing and intervals between repeated inseminations by different rooster breeds on the fathering of chicks and found that chicks obtained were classified on the basis of their phenotype matching with the breeding male phenotype.

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.
