The ability of cryopreservatives to prevent motility loss and freeze-thaw damage to the acrosome of chicken spermatozoa
F.D. Westfall,G.C. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: Glycerol at high levels appeared to be the best cryopreservative under these conditions and prevented significant freeze-thaw reductions in proteolytic digestion.

Selection for Body Weight at Eight Weeks of Age 10. Spermatozoal Morphology
TL;DR: Comparisons of spermatozoal morphology were made between lines of chickens divergently selected for high and low juvenile body weight, and there was a significantly larger percentage of dead and abnormal spermutozoa in the high-weight line than in the low- Weight line.

Cryoprotective and contraceptive properties of egg yolk as an additive in rooster sperm diluents.
Julián Santiago-Moreno,Cristina Castaño,Adolfo Toledano-Díaz,Miguel Ángel Coloma,Antonio López-Sebastián,M. T. Prieto,J. L. Campo +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that the addition of egg yolk of either type protects rooster sperm cells against cold shock and during freezing and thawing, but exerts a contraceptive effect in the genital tract of the hen.

Effect of Tribulus terrestris extract on semen quality and serum total cholesterol content in White Plymouth Rock-mini cocks
TL;DR: It was found, that Tribulus terrestris extract improves cocks semen quality : volume of ejaculate, spermatozoids concentration and motility, and shortened the time of methylen blue decolouration.

Reza Masoudi,Mohsen Sharafi,Ahmad Zare Shahneh,Hamid Kohram,Elahe Nejati-Amiri,Hamideh Karimi,M. Khodaei-Motlagh,Abdolhossein Shahverdi +7 more
TL;DR: Results of the present study indicate that supplementation of Lake extender with 1 and 2 μM CoQ10 enhances the quality of rooster sperm after the freeze-thaw process.

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.
