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:

Ultrastructure of Fresh and Frozen-Thawed Spermatozoa of High and Low Fertility Lines of Chickens
TL;DR: Where the incidence of the nuclear defect was greater than 2% in frozen-thawed semen, fertility was found to be very low or nil regardless of the degree of structural integrity of the mitochondria, midpiece and perforatorium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrate metabolism of cock spermatozoa.
TL;DR: Investigations have demonstrated that mammalian spermatozoa utilize fructose, glucose and mannose; anaerobically, they degrade these sugars to lactic acid, deriving from this process the energy necessary for motility.

Intact cell MALDI-TOF MS on sperm: a molecular test for male fertility diagnosis
Laura Soler,Valérie Labas,Aurore Thélie,Isabelle Grasseau,Ana Paula Teixeira-Gomes,Ana Paula Teixeira-Gomes,Elisabeth Blesbois +6 more
TL;DR: The intact cell MALDI-TOF MS-based method showed high diagnostic accuracy in identifying fertile/subfertile males in a large male population of known fertility from two distinct genetic lineages (meat and egg laying lines).

Physiological Disturbance of the Reproductive System in White Leghorn Cockerels Following the Feeding of Enheptin
C. B. Hudson,J. A. Pino +1 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of Enheptin (2-amino, 5-nitrothiazole) in the treatment and prevention of blackhead (infectious enterohepatitis) of turkeys has been demonstrated and can be explained by assuming that the chickens were carriers of the blackhead.

Characterization of red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) sperm: Seasonal changes and influence of genetic purity.
Julián Santiago-Moreno,Cristina Castaño,Adolfo Toledano-Díaz,Milagros C. Esteso,Antonio López-Sebastián,N. Gañán,M. J. Hierro,F. Marchal,J. L. Campo,Elisabeth Blesbois +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that genetic introgression influences the reproductive variables of the red-legged partridge because the seasonal plasma testosterone concentration pattern followed a trend roughly parallel to the ejaculatory response.

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.
