“…The ejaculated volume in RIR X Local cross (0.51 ± 0.02 ml) was significantly higher (p<0.01) as compared to RIR (0.27±0.01ml) and Punjab Red (0.30±0.01ml). There was no significant difference in volumes of Aseel (0.38 ± 0.08) and Kadaknath (0.30 ± 0.06) breeds as reported by Mavi et al (2017). The mean volumes of ejaculates of Malaysian Red jungle fowl (0.33 ml), domestic chicken (0.29 ml) were similar to that observed in RIR and PR during the present study.…”

“…Hrncar et al (2013) and Malik et al (2013) observed a lower percentage of sperm motility (57.51 ± 20.28 to 64.48 ± 18.79 % and 49.0 ± 6.03 to 55.1 ± 6.67 %) in different breeds of chick as compared to RIR, PR and RIR x local cross. However, Mavi et al (2017) and Machal and Krivanek ( 2002) observed higher percentage of sperm motility in Aseel, Kadaknath and RIR as 75.83 ±5.73%, 75.78 ± 4.08% and 67.8 ±30.8 respectively, in comparison to the genetic groups evaluated during present study. The wide variations in motility could be as due to the difference in strain, age and geographical location Krivanek 2002 andShanmugam et al 2013).…”

“…The pH of semen recorded during the present study was within the range as generally reported in poultry semen. The pH of cockerel semen recorded by other researchers was 7.02 ± 0.01, 7.4 ± 0.2, 7.68 ± 0.01 and 7.11±0.15 by Bah et al (2001), Peters et al (2008), Tuncer et al (2008) and Mavi et al (2017) respectively.…”

The present study was conducted to characterize the semen quality parameters in roosters of three genetic groups viz. Rhode Island Red (RIR), Punjab Red and RIR X local cross. The roosters for each genetic group were also evaluated for fertility rate. There was no significant difference in color, pH and abnormalities among different genetic groups. RIR X local cross had significant higher (p less than 0.01) ejaculate volume (0.51±0.02 ml vs. 0.27±0.01 and 0.30±0.01ml), sperm concentration (2804.70±114.61 vs. 1826.10±77.66 and 2133.50±81.18X106 sperms/ml), sperm motility % (66.60±2.12 vs. 55.38±1.82 and 51.95±1.84), sperm viability % (72.43±2.06 vs. 64.67±1.88 and 51.25±1.89) and HOST % (64.59±2.61 vs. 58.55±1.17 and 47.09±2.11) than RIR and Punjab Red respectively. Interestingly, RIR X local cross had significant lower (p less than 0.01) partially damaged sperm % (36.96±2.81 vs. 41.84±1.78 and 48.98±1.89) and fully damaged sperm % (14.15±3.39 vs. 26.27±1.93 and 31.25±2.46) than RIR and Punjab Red respectively indicating desirable performance. The fertility rate for RIR X local cross was also found to be higher than Punjab Red and RIR respectively. Sperm traits were significantly positively correlated among groups with high correlation between fertility rate and sperm traits. It can be concluded that the selection of roosters on the basis of sperm function tests for artificial insemination may improve fertility rate and thereby may reduce maintenance cost of large number of cocks.

“…It indicates that the volume of sperm (ml) retrieved by flushing was 0.72±0.12, but with the float-out method, it was 0.17±0.08. The difference was significantly higher (P<0.01), the volume harvested by float-out method was lower than Aseel (0.36 ± 0.08) and Kadaknath (0.30 ± 0.06 ml) breed (Mavi et al, 2017), and of Venda cockerels (0.3ml) (Mphaphathi et al, 2016), obtained by abdominal massage technique.…”

“…Samples collected from the vas deferens can be considered as a better source for future rooster semen studies regarding the development of methods of chicken sperm cryopreservation and, eventually, in cryopreservation per of valuable genetic resources. Because, the basis of sperm can be a suitable indicator in AI practices (Mavi et al, 2017).…”

The present aimed to investigate for the first time the characteristics and conservation of post-mortem sperm, obtained from epididymis and the vas deferens of 18 pairs of adult local chicken cocks from the east of Algeria (age, 12-24 months, body weight 1.50-2.53 kg). And compare the sperm quality at the epididymis and the vas deferens levels, the efficacy of two post-mortem sperm retrieval techniques, the flushing and float-out methods in the collection of local chicken cock's sperm, and the effects of conservation in situ at different temperatures (2h and 24h at 20°C and after refrigeration at 4°C for 24h). The quality was significantly higher (0.13±0.05ml vs 0.72±0.12ml) in the vas deferens compared to the epididymis, whereas spermatozoa abnormalities and chromatin quality did not differ in both the epididymis and vas deferens. No significant difference was observed between the flushing and float-out methods. Concentration (3.33±1.63 million sperm vs 1.75±0.76 million sperm), initial motility (77.50±6.89% vs 75.83±8.61%), viability (75±10.39% vs 74.67±10.15%) and abnormality (30.33±4.68% vs 30.33±4.68%), only the volume was significantly higher (0.72±0.12ml vs 0.17±0.08ml). However, the effects of conservation in situ, at 25°C and 4°C for 24h, showed a significant difference for viability and motility of the spermatozoa recovered from vas deferens, and no significant difference for abnormality and acrosome integrity. Therefore, it can be concluded that good quality semen samples can be collected from the vas deferens with the flushing method, and semen of Algerian local cocks can be preserved at 20°C for 24h.
