Gross Appearance of Turkey Cloacae Before and After Single or Multiple Manual Semen Collections
Murray R. Bakst,Helene C. Cecil +1 more
TL;DR: Cloacal hemorrhages resulting from semen collection can be minimized by reducing the number of cloacal strokes per semen collection to one or two and using the correct hand placement and pressure on the cloaca during the cloACal strokes.

Effect of age on semen quality in naked neck and dwarf chicken under tropical climatic conditions
TL;DR: Semen quality was different between naked neck and dwarf line males and age affected semen quality of the gene lines studied in different manners, and significant interaction between gene lines and age was observed in other parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron microscopy of early cleavage furrows in the chick blastodisc
TL;DR: A sequence of furrow formation in the chick is suggested and possible sources of new surface membrane are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fertility disturbances of dimethylacetamide and glycerol in rooster sperm diluents: Discrimination among effects produced pre and post freezing-thawing process.
TL;DR: The mechanical damage attributed to the process for reducing GLY concentrations was more harmful to sperm fertilizing capacity than the toxicity of DMA and freeze/thaw process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semen dilution prior to analysis influences the ability of the sperm quality analyzer to predict fertility whether inseminating with a constant number of sperm or a constant volume of semen
TL;DR: According to this research, the sperm quality index (SQI) is predictive of fertility when semen samples are diluted 10-fold prior to analysis regardless of insemination method used.

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.

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.
