Cysteamine enhances quality and fertility potential of rooster semen in cooled storage
TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of supplementing Lake extender with cysteamine (CYS) on rooster semen quality in cold storage and it's fertility performance were evaluated at 0, 23 and 46 h of storage.

Secondary sexual traits and semen characteristic of chicken germline chimeras.
TL;DR: Results obtained indicate that germline chimeras are similar in appearance of secondary sexual traits, and semen and testes characteristics to chickens produced in non-manipulated way.

Effects of feeding regimen during early development on body composition, gastrointestinal tract size, and semen quality of broiler breeder cockerels after maturation.
K. J. Sexton,J. A. Renden +1 more
TL;DR: No significant differences existed among treatments for BW or body composition at 22 wk, but SAD birds had heavier crops and lighter gizzard weights than either LD or LT birds, and Birds in the LD group had heavier livers, greater amounts of body fat, smaller testes, and reduced body protein than those in the other treatments.

Assessment of Semen Characteristics Among Three Phenotypes of Chicken Raised in Akko, Gombe State of Nigeria
TL;DR: It is suggested that there are large variations present in semen characteristics of different phenotypes of cocks; White feathered strain is likely have better semen characteristics compared to Red and Black feathered strains and can potentially be used in artificial insemination (AI) for chicken production and improvement.

The Impact of Dietary Yeast Fermentation Product Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae on Semen Quality and Semen Microbiota of Aged White Leghorn roosters
TL;DR: The data suggest the increased number of bacteria and yeast per sperm resulted from supplementation and is detrimental to semen quality, as the dietary levels of YFP increased, SQI linearly decreased but bacteria per billion sperm and yeastper billion sperm linearly increased.

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.

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.
