Methods for cryopreservation of guinea fowl sperm.
TL;DR: The guinea fowl sperm could tolerate the fast freezing in pellet better than the slower freezing rates and resulted acceptable fertility rate and according to the results, fertility increased and early embryonic death decreased over time.

Associated effects of divergent selection for residual feed consumption on reproduction, sperm characteristics, and mitochondria of spermatozoa
Mireille Morisson,A. Bordas,Jean-Michel Petit,Chantal Jayat-Vignoles,Raymond Julien,Francis Minvielle +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that selection for residual feed intake may have altered some cellular function related to the production of energy in the R+ line.

Development of Extender and Techniques for Frozen Turkey Semen.1. Development
TL;DR: A wide range of extender osmotic pressures were compatible with recovery of spermatozoal motility postthaw, and replacement of approximately half of the extender with an iso-osmolar glucose solution yielded higher percentages of motile spermatoza with both fresh and frozen-thawed semen samples.

Artificial Insemination and the Duration of Fertility of Geese
TL;DR: The anatomical structure of the reproductive organs of geese differs markedly from that of chickens and turkeys, and the gander has a penis which becomes quite enlarged during the breeding season and which is extruded prior to mating or when the bird is handled to obtain the semen artificially.

Capacités reproductrices et descendance de poulets ayant subi un transfert de cellules germinales primordiales durant la vie embryonnaire
TL;DR: Des cellules germinales primordiales de Dindon, transferees par injection intravasculaire a des embryons de Poulet prealablement sterilises, peuvent subir une maturation complete dans les gonades de l'hote and fournir des gametes plus ou moins aptes a la fecondation as discussed by the authors.

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.
