Testicular Weights, Ductus Deferens Semen Volumes, and Sperm Concentration of Turkeys with High and Low Ejaculate Volumes

TL;DR: Comparisons of low (LSP) and high (HSP) semen producers showed no differences in testes weights and sperm concentration in d.

Effects of Aeration and Storage Temperature on Campylobacter Concentrations in Poultry Semen
K. Cole,Annie M. Donoghue,P. J. Blore,J. S. Holliman,N. A. Cox,M. T. Musgrove,Daniel J. Donoghue +6 more
TL;DR: Aeration of the semen alone, or aeration with reduced temperatures (4 or 23 degrees C), did not reduce the amount of Campylobacter compared with the controls, but concentrations were reduced when stored at 42 degrees C for 24 h, which is associated with reduced sperm viability.

Proteomic analysis of white and yellow seminal plasma in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to compare the proteome of white and yellow seminal plasma of turkeys using 2-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry to identify the proteins that are differentially abundant in white andyellow seminal plasma.

Transcriptome analysis of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) reproductive tract revealed key pathways regulating spermatogenesis and post-testicular sperm maturation
Mariola Słowińska,Łukasz Paukszto,Jan Paweł Jastrzębski,Joanna Bukowska,Krzysztof Kozłowski,Jan Jankowski,Andrzej Ciereszko +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first genome-wide functional investigation of genes associated with tissue-specific processes in turkey reproductive tract and several potential candidate genes involved in spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis and flagellum formation in the testis, and in post-testicular sperm maturation in the epididymis and ductus deferens are revealed.

Localization of a Proteolytic Enzyme Within the Efferent and Deferent Duct Epithelial Cells of the Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Using Immunohistochemistry
TL;DR: It is concluded that the protease found in turkey seminal plasma is concentrated to the distal efferent duct and the deferent duct epithelial cells.

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.
