Catabolism of Phospholipids by Chicken Seminal Components After Storage
W. D. Resseguie,Brenna L. Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: The possibility of an activation of chicken spermatozoal phospholipase A2 during in vitro storage of undiluted semen was investigated and no enzyme activity was evident when fresh semen was incubated under various assay conditions to determine the influence of cholic acid, calcium, and the type ofospholipid substrate on phospholine A2 activity.

Silica-based colloid centrifugation enhances sperm quality in cockerel semen.
TL;DR: It was suggested that Percoll TM 80% SLC was the most optimal procedure to separate fresh cockerel sperm and PercollTM 70% S LC was themost optimal process to separate stored cockere sperm.

Research Note: The effect of crude protein and calcium intake on fertility of male broiler breeders.
TL;DR: The birds fed levels of crude protein and calcium recommended for males had significantly more points of sperm hydrolysis at 40 wk of age compared to all other dietary treatments, which indicates better fertilizing potential.

Response of Yaffa Breeder Cocks to Dietary Fumonisin B 1 : Volumetric Proportions of Spermatogenic Elements, Tubular Diameter and Pubertal Age
TL;DR: It is revealed that exposure of cocks to be used for breeding purpose to dietary FB1 higher than 10.2ppm will impede the reproductive efficiency of the cocks.

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.
