Evaluation of Different Methods Used in Morphological Examination of Canary Sperm

By determining the species-specific structure by morphological examination of sperm, it is possible to improve some disadvantages related short and long-term storage use in artificial insemination applications. When morphology canary spermatozoon evaluated, seen that has a long indented acrosome as well rather flagellum. To determine semen, methods used different poultry can be applied visually evaluated with shapes. This study aims provide information about comparison usability various staining semen from songbirds. In this study, 12 male Gloster canaries was collected parameters semen. Collected evaluation methods; Fixation 5% formaldehyde, Formalin fixation Giemsa staining, fixation, SpermBlue were evaluated. results while nucleus more prominent compared other for evaluation, observed staining. On hand, when sperm fixed formaldehyde solution indistinguishable, changes flagellum determined much clearly. As result reported could all used.
