5-Aminolevulinic acid improves chicken sperm motility.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) on motility parameters, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and ATP levels in chicken sperm were investigated.

J. Barragan,José Manuel Huitrón,Juan-Jose Perez-Rivero,Adrian Guzmán Sánchez,Alejandro Rodríguez,Ana María Rosales Torres,Ricardo Camarillo Flores +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of viscosity on the medium to maintain its viability after thawing was evaluated, and the results showed that variations in the degree of visco-lasticity of the medium can maintain or increase sperm viability.

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.
