Predicting the adult daily sperm output after the first ejaculates in cockerels raised under different photoschedules.
TL;DR: The differences in DSO observed between the best and the worst semen donors at the end of testicular development or thereafter remained relatively stable in ageing cockerels, except in birds submitted to increased photoperiods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supplementation of dietary vitamins, protein and probiotics on semen traits and immunohistochemical study of pituitary hormones in zinc-induced molted broiler breeders.
TL;DR: The results showed that vitamin E alone may play some role in the enhancement of semen quality and growth of gonadotropes and lactotropes, and the morphometric analysis revealed that compared to other groups, vitamin E caused a significant increase in the size and area of FSH, LH gonadotropic and lactotropic areas.

Density of Suspension and Morphology of Sperm in Relation to Fertility in the Fowl
F. R. Sampson,D. C. Warren +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine whether evidence could be found for poor fertility and morphologically-defective spermatozoa in rams and boars using a method of artificial insemination.

TL;DR: The Hemacolor(®) technique might be deemed the more appropriate for computerized sperm assessment systems as it provides larger percentages of measureable cells and shows greater repeatability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Flora Observed within Sections of the Oviduct in Naturally Mated, Artificially Inseminated, and Virgin Hens
TL;DR: Artificial insemination does not appear to introduce more types or numbers of bacteria into the oviduct than does natural mating, andcoliform bacteria were more numerous in naturally mated hens when compared to other treatments.

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.
