Jiří Kalina,Filip Šenigl,Alena Mičáková,Jitka Mucksová,Jana Blazkova,Haifeng Yan,Martin Poplstein,Jiri Hejnar,Pavel Trefil +8 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the transplantation of retrovirus-infected spermatogonia provides an efficient system to introduce genes into the chicken male germ line.

Improvements in semen quality, sperm fatty acids, and reproductive performance in aged Ross breeder roosters fed a diet supplemented with a moderate ratio of n-3: n-6 fatty acids.
Reza Safari Asl,Farid Shariatmadari,Mohsen Sharafi,Mohammad Amir Karimi Torshizi,Abdolhossein Shahverdi +4 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that supplementation of aged roosters' diet with 0.16 ratio of n-3: n-6 can be a beneficial strategy for improvement of their fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation of semen from unique lines of chicken germ plasm.
TL;DR: Monitored samples of semen cryopreserved with glycerol for heterozygous, dominant marker stocks and for nine chromosomal rearrangement lines had sufficiently high fertility for germ-line retrieval, indicating a potential for the genetic selection of certain lines for the freezability of spermatozoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure of spermatozoa from Japanese quail
TL;DR: Differences in binding patterns of the mAb to turkey mitochondria between quail and turkey sperm were due to the presence of mitochondria on the exceptionally long midpieces of quail sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI
The control of bacterial growth in fowl semen
TL;DR: Although the presence of egg white did not diminish the growth of bacteria in stored diluted semen it improved the motility of the spermatozoa, and Sulphathiazole in the concentrations used proved toxic to the semen, and unreliable for bacteriostasis.

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.
