Mengxuan Tang,Jiangli Cao,Yu Zonggang,Hailin Liu,Fang Yang,Shengqiang Huang,Jun He,Haifeng Yan +7 more
TL;DR: The world's advanced fertility of frozen semen can be obtained both in the chicken and drake through the optimized DMA straw freezing technology and the method of screening freeze-resistant individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm quality and quantity evolve through different selective processes in the Phasianidae
TL;DR: Ejaculate volume, sperm number, sperm length and the proportion of viable normal sperm in response to varying levels of sperm competition, body size and the duration of female sperm storage in pheasants and allies (Phasianidae) were studied.

Semen collection and artificial insemination in the common piping guan (Pipile cumanensis cumanensis): potential applications for Cracidae (Aves: Galliformes).
Karen E. DeMatteo,Kate L. Karagiannis,Cheryl S. Asa,Michael Macek,Timothy L. Snyder,Anne Tieber,Patricia G. Parker +6 more
TL;DR: This study represents the first published account of the use of ARTs in Cracidae and forms the basis for future developments aimed at optimizing genetic management of cracids in ex situ breeding programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semen and microbial characteristics of two breeds of turkeys in an arid tropical environment of Bauchi State, Nigeria
TL;DR: There were turkey breed differences in semen characteristics in the authors' environment, and they compare favourably with those obtained elsewhere in the tropics.

M. T. Kidd,Lúcio Francelino Araújo,Cristiane Soares da Silva Araújo,Christopher D. Mcdaniel,D. McIntyre +4 more
TL;DR: Investigation of broiler breeder diet modification as a nontraditional way to improve broiler performance without affecting broiler feed costs found Hatchability of fertile eggs was improved in hens fed diets containing S. cerevisiae in both the 32- and 39-wk hatch.

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.
