Evaluation of semen from individual male domestic fowl by assessment of sperm perivitelline interaction in vitro and in vivo
TL;DR: Spermatozoa in semen samples from 8 individual male domestic fowls were shown to have a differential and characteristic ability to hydrolyse holes in the inner perivitelline layer from laid eggs in an in vitro assay.

Eight Generations of Selection for Duration of Fertility of Frozen-Thawed Semen in the Chicken
G. A. Ansah,R. B. Buckland +1 more
TL;DR: The response to eight generations of selection for duration of fertility of frozen-thawed chicken semen, the correlated responses of other fertility parameters of frozen -thawed semen and the fertility of fresh semen, and the heritabilities of frozen,thawed and fresh semen were studied.

Effects of Ad Libitum and Restricted Feeding on Semen Quantity and Quality, Body Composition, and Blood Chemistry of Caged Broiler Breeder Males
TL;DR: Significant positive correlations were found between body fat and the variables HCT, BW, semen weight (SW), and SC, and body weight was positively correlated with SW, and T was correlated with HCT.

The Effect of Restricting Light During the Adolescent Period on Reproductive Performance in Turkeys Subsequently Exposed to a 12-, 14-, and 20-Hour Day
TL;DR: Another factor in illumination, namely light-conditioning or light-restriction is being investigated in order to bring hens into egg production during the summer and early fall months

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.
