TLDR
A number of methods for obtaining semen from the fowl have been described, including mating a cock to a hen and immediately securing the fluid from the cloaca of the hen.About:

Different concentrations of cysteamine, ergothioneine, and serine modulate quality and fertilizing ability of cryopreserved chicken sperm
Pachara Thananurak,Napapach Chuaychu-noo,Aurore Thélie,Yupin Phasuk,Thevin Vongpralub,Elisabeth Blesbois +5 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, the addition of 4 mmol of SER in semen cryopreservation diluents decreases peroxidation and improves the efficiency of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryopreservation of Rooster Sperm
TL;DR: The procedure described is the first to consistently result in > 50% fertilized eggs as a result of conventional intravaginal insemination of sperm processed after thawing by a procedure amenable to the scaleup required for commercial applications.

Species specificity in avian sperm:perivitelline interaction.
Sarah G. Stewart,Nina Bausek,Franz Wohlrab,Wolfgang J. Schneider,A. Janet Horrocks,Graham J. Wishart +5 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that sperm interaction with the egg investment does not represent such a stringent species-specific barrier in birds as it does in mammals and marine invertebrates, and may be a factor in the frequency of hybrid production in birds.

Effect of dietary probiotics on the semen traits and antioxidative activity of male broiler breeders.
Takio Inatomi,Konosuke Otomaru +1 more
TL;DR: Probiotics containing Bacillus amyloliquefaciens TOA5001 might improve the reproductive performance of male broiler breeders and improve the intestinal morphology, intestinal microflora, oxidative activity, and semen quality of the male broilers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Male Broiler Breeder Dietary Energy Intake on Reproduction and Progeny Growth
TL;DR: There was a significant linear effect of diet on fertility, with no significant effect on hatch of fertile, hatch of eggs set, or embryonic mortality, and there was no effect of sire energy intake on offspring body weights at 0, 3, or 6 wk of age.

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.
