Reproductive Performance in Male Chickens Fed Protein Deficient Diets During the Growing Period
TL;DR: Sexual maturity was delayed in the low protein groups, but after being fed a 17.0% protein diet for 7 weeks sperm concentrations were about equal in all groups.

The effect of anoxia on fowl spermatozoa: Recovery of fertilizing ability, motility, and cellular concentrations of potassium and ATP
TL;DR: The fertilizing ability of fowl sperm, following anaerobic storage at 30°C, appeared to be related to their ability to restore ATP and K+ concentrations and motility, and this could be restored by the addition of glucose.

TL;DR: One of the most significant results is an increase in egg fertilization and a decrease in embryo death during the first 7 days of incubation.

Mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species in liquid stored and cryopreserved turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) spermatozoa.
TL;DR: Diminished energy production in turkey spermatozoa, visible as the low percentage of sperm with an intact MMP and low level of ATP after freezing/thawing, could be responsible for the low fertilizing ability of cryopreserved turkey semen.

Method matters: Experimental evidence for shorter avian sperm in faecal compared to abdominal massage samples.

TL;DR: It was found that sperm were significantly shorter in faecal than abdominal massage samples, which was explained by shorter heads and midpieces, but not flagella, which might indicate that faecic sampled sperm could be less mature than sperm collected by abdominal massage.

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.
