TLDR
A number of methods for obtaining semen from the fowl have been described, including mating a cock to a hen and immediately securing the fluid from the cloaca of the hen.About:

The Effect of Increased Protein Intake During the Starter and Prebreeder Periods on Reproductive Performance of Ultra High Yield Broiler Breeder Hens
Marc de Beer,N Craig Coon +1 more
TL;DR: Early stimulation of growth and frame size by providing additional protein gave moderate improvements in performance as did higher protein prebreeder diets, while lower than normal protein intake during the pre breeder phase resulted in reduced performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of body weight loss and feeding regimen on the performance of moulted breeder layers
TL;DR: Hens fed on cracked grain produced fewest non‐hatching eggs, most chicks and the most efficient food utilisation, and interactions showed that hens which lost 0.20 BW and were fed on layers ration produced most eggs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of rooster semen freezing ability with the use of dietary sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the supplementation of roosters’ diet with 15 g fish oil per kg diet improved the quality of frozen-thawed semen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heritability Estimates of Male Reproductive and Morphological Traits and Their Genetic Correlations with Female Egg Production and Other Related Traits in Chickens
TL;DR: Wattle size, measured at an early age, could be useful in selecting for high egg production; and selection for semen production could increase egg size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of semen variables, sperm DNA damage and sperm membrane proteins in two male layer breeder lines
TL;DR: It may be concluded that there was a difference in gross semen variables between the lines that were studied, however, the sperm chromatin condensation, DNA damage, membrane proteins and duration over which fertility was sustained after insemination did not differ between the Lines.

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.
