“…This agrees with the findings of Carson et al (1955b) of considerable variation in semen volume in different male turkeys. It only agrees partially with McCartney (1956), who found no significant differences among turkey toms for semen volume, motility, pH, or sperm concentration, but did for sperm count per ejaculate.…”

“…Although some males produce semen continuously into the second year (Carson et al, 1955a), the majority stop producing semen for a longer or shorter period of time, mostly in late summer and autumn, just as hens stop laying. As with egg production of hens, individual males vary greatly in the time of year when semen production stops.…”

“…That WSO decreases progressively with age in males under a long or increasing photoperiod has probably the same origin as the seasonal decline in semen output in male turkeys subjected to natural variations in photoperiod [32][33][34][35]. Interestingly, while independent of photoperiod, sperm viability declined (P < 0.05) with age.…”
