The effect of busulfan treatment on endogenous spermatogonial stem cells in immature roosters

TL;DR: It was found that the 20 to 40 mg/kg of BW doses effective in mice did not lead to suppression of spermatogenesis in birds, and application of busulfan in several doses caused less physiological stress than single-dose application.

Semen evaluation in four autochthonous wild raptor species using computer-aided sperm analyzer

TL;DR: This work worked with wild birds and attempted to overcome the problem of poor semen quality, which is strongly influenced by stress, by adopting a ritualized procedure that has never been reported for semen collection purposes.

Amelioration effects of n-3, n-6 sources of fatty acids and rosemary leaves powder on the semen parameters, reproductive hormones, and fatty acid analysis of sperm in aged Ross broiler breeder roosters.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that RLP as an antioxidant could remarkably improve the effects of n-3 and n- 3/n-6 PUFA on sperm characteristics, seminal MDA, and hormones levels in aged breeder roosters.

Morphological defects of sperm and their association with motility, fertility, and hatchability in four Korean native chicken breeds.

TL;DR: Data indicate that most identified specific morphological defects are at the head and tail in four Korean native chicken breeds, and will facilitate successful AI and semen cryopreservation.

Acrosome reaction of fowl sperm: Evidence for shedding of the acrosomal cap in intact form to release acrosomal enzyme

TL;DR: It is suggested that the process of AR in fowl sperm is unique; the release of the acrosomal proteolytic enzyme may occur through a single circular opening formed at the base of the Acrosomal cap and the acosomal cap is detached in intact form from the posterior acrosome region of the sperm.

A Method of Obtaining Spermatozoa from the Domestic Fowl

W. H. Burrows, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1935 - 
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

L. C. Dunn
- 01 Jun 1927 - 
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

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.
