Semen lysozyme levels and semen quality in Turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) fed with various dietary protein levels
TL;DR: On a demontre qu'un contenu plus eleve des proteines dans les aliments composes ameliore les indices qualitatifs et quantit atifs du sperme tandis que les differentes concentrations de lysozyme dans le serum sanguin et le plasma spermatique influencent notablement the mobilite des spermatozoides et la quantite de spermatozides vivants and morts d

Activity of phospholipases A and lysophospholipase in turkey semen and oviducal fluid.
TL;DR: Results showed that turkey semen had several enzymatic activities able to hydrolyze phospholipids, and these activities could be involved in membrane destabilization prior to fertilization.

The mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO conserves rooster's cooled semen quality and fertility potential
TL;DR: Adding 5 and 50 μM Mito-TEMPO as a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant to the storage medium could be a suitable method to conserve rooster semen quality against stressful conditions of cooling storage process.

The Effect of Dietary Aflatoxin on Semen Characteristics of Mature Broiler Breeder Males
TL;DR: Alatoxin incorporated into the feed of mature broiler breeder males for four weeks caused clinical aflatoxicosis as evidence by a significant (P.p.m.) factor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolism of fowl sperm in different diluents.
TL;DR: Initial respiration and glycolysis of fowl semen was depressed by the addition of glycine to the Tyrode diluent, however, the glycine addition resulted in a less sharp decrease in the hourly respiration rate.

A Method of Obtaining Spermatozoa from the Domestic Fowl

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.
