The effects of pullet body weight, dietary nonpyhtate phosphorus intake, and breeder feeding regimen on production performance, chick quality, and bone remodeling in broiler breeders
TL;DR: Both 0.15% dietary NPP and reared pullets 20% under standard BW negatively affect egg production but do not impair progeny productivity, and body composition appears to be a main contributor in bone remodeling mechanisms, especially during the transition into egg production.

Feeding rosemary leaves powder ameliorates rooster age-related subfertility
TL;DR: Having a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids avian spermatozoa predispose to lipoperoxidation which results in fertility reduction is concluded in senescent breeder roosters to improve their reproductive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chrysin-induced sperm parameters and fatty acid profile changes improve reproductive performance of roosters.
TL;DR: Ch Chrysin administration particularly at higher levels alleviates post-peak fertility reduction in roosters; however, further research are needed to disclose involved mechanism(s).

Isolation and Characterization of an Ovoinhibitor, a Multidomain Kazal-Like Inhibitor from Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Seminal Plasma

TL;DR: The results suggested that hepatocyte growth factor activator was a potential target proteinase for the ovoinhibitor in turkey seminal plasma, which appeared to play a significant role in an antibacterial semen defense against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of spermatogenesis after transplantation of c-Kit positive testicular cells in the fowl
TL;DR: An improvement of the germ cell transplantation technique is presented by using an enriched subpopulation of c-Kit-positive spermatogonia as donor cells, which resulted in the production of functional heterologous spermatozoa.

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.
