Specificity of sperm-binding Wolffian duct proteins in the rooster and their persistence on spermatozoa in the female host glands.
TL;DR: The present investigation confirms that testicular spermatozoa of quail and turkey as well as chicken do not have any surface determinants in common with those present in Wolffian duct secretions, and is consistent with the possibility that they have some role in sperm storage or survival in female birds.

Age-related changes in gonadal and serotonergic axes of broiler breeder roosters.
N. Avital-Cohen,R. Heiblum,N. Argov-Argaman,A. Rosenstrauch,Yupaporn Chaiseha,N. Mobarkey,Israel Rozenboim +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that PRL, which is known to inhibit the gonadal axis, and its releasing factor, VIP, play an important role in the reproductive failure associated with age in broiler breeder roosters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of liquid storage on amidase activity, DNA fragmentation and motility of turkey spermatozoa.
TL;DR: The data suggest that a decrease in turkey sperm quality during short-term storage is related to disturbances to the acrosome, presumably related to premature activation of acrosomal serine proteinases, and to a lesser extent a decreases in sperm motility characteristics and damage of sperm DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress preconditioning of rooster semen before cryopreservation improves fertility potential of thawed sperm
TL;DR: Application of 1 &mgr;M NO as a sublethal oxidative stress before cryopreservation of sperm efficiently increased numerous quality indices of thawed sperm as well as its fertility potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Producing progeny from endangered birds of prey: treatment of urine-contaminated semen and a novel intramagnal insemination approach.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that urine contamination, a common and lethal acidifier in manually collected raptor ejaculates, can be circumvented by immediate, gentle seminal washing and these processed sperm, when deposited by transjunctional intramagnal insemination, can produce live young.

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.
