Correlated Responses to Selection for High or Low Incidence of Tibial Dyschondroplasia in Broilers
TL;DR: Selection for a high or a low incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia at 7 wk of age was practiced for four generations in broiler breeders keeping an unselected control (C) line and using low intensity X-ray imaging for TD diagnosis.

Semen traits and seminal plasma biochemical parameters in white leghorn layer breeders.
TL;DR: These parameters provide some valuable basal data that may help better understanding the semen quality characteristics of White Leghorn layer breeders.

Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase Kinases (CaMKKs) Effects on AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) Regulation of Chicken Sperm Functions.
TL;DR: The results show for the first time the presence of CaMKKs (α and β) and one of its substrate, CaMKI in different subcellular compartments in germ cells, as well as the changes in the AMPK regulation pathway, sperm motility and AR related to Ca2+ entry in sperm through the Ca2-/CaM/CaKs/CaMKI pathway.

The Effects of Environmental Temperature on Fertility of the Domestic Fowl
TL;DR: It was found that a cold environmental temperature depressed testes growth and delayed spermatogenesis in maturing cockerels and there was also a highly significant difference in the fertility of mature males kept at different environmental temperatures.

TL;DR: Ch Chromatin heterogeneity and instability of transgenic spermatozoal nuclei were evident by transmission electron microscopy, staining reaction to Giemsa, and, as apparent by both light microscopy and flow cytometry, reaction to SDS detergent.

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.
