Intramuscular progesterone injection decreases sperm functionality and fertility in broiler breeder roosters
Chicken seminal plasma contains a high content of sex steroids including progesterone (P4). According to a published study, in vitro supplementation of P4 to the semen resulted in decreased fertility in the White Leghorn chicken; however, it is not known if increased P4 production in vivo is associated with decreased sperm fertility. Therefore, the aim of the present experiment was to study the...

were: Choretime, Lubing, Plasson, Val, and Ziggety. Higher average maximum temperatures for the SU (32 C) versus the SP (28 C) trial, made the trials significantly different (SD) and therefore were analyzed separately. While no SD were found in BW (kg) during the SP trial, drinker D significantly reduced 42d BW (2.32) in comparison to the A (2.44), B (2.42), C (2.41), and E (2.44) systems. No S...
متن کاملUse of a sperm analyzer for evaluating broiler breeder males. 2. Selection of young broiler breeder roosters for the sperm quality index increases fertile egg production.
Previous research has shown that the sperm quality index (SQI) of rooster semen is indicative of overall semen quality. The objectives of the present experiments were to determine the correlation of the SQI with semen characteristics and fertility and to determine if selection of young males for the SQI would improve fertility. In Experiment 1 semen was collected from 35 Peterson males and was ...
متن کاملComparative study of semen traits and histomorphometric features of testes of broiler breeder males with different phenotypic traits
Fertility reduction due to sub-fertile males is a major concern in breeder flocks. Phenotypic traits of broiler breeder males and their relationships with fertility can be used as reliable indicators for identification and removal of sub-fertile males from the breeder flocks. This study was conducted to investigate semen traits (semen volume, sperm motility, sperm viability and sperm count) and...
متن کاملThe Effect of Broiler Breeder Strain and Parent Flock Age on Hatchability and Fertile Hatchability
The effect of genetic strain (Ross 308; Cobb 500) and parent flock age (Ross at 32 and 36 weeks; Cobb at 26 and 44 weeks of age) on hatchability, fertile hatchability, Egg Weight Loss (EWL) and egg break out analysis were examined. At each flock age, 300 eggs from each treatment group were incubated. Thirty eggs from each treatment group were labeled individually for the measurements of Egg Wei...
