Summary

EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED TO MEASURE THE RESPIRATORY ACTIVITY, MOTILITY, AND FERTILITY OF CHICKEN AND TURKEY SPERM IN UNDILUTED AND DILUTED SEMEN HELD AT EITHER 314, 298, 288 OR 278 K (41, 25, 15 OR 5 DEG C) FOR 3 OR 6 HR. WHEN INCUBATED UNDER IDENTICAL CONDITIONS, THE RESPIRATORY RATE OF SPERMATOZOA IN DILUTED SEMEN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER. THE FERTILITY OF DILUTED CHICKEN SEMEN WAS HIGHEST AFTER 6 HR STORAGE AT 278 K. IN CONTRAST, THE FERTILIZING CAPACITY OF DILUTED TURKEY SEMEN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE UNSTORED CONTROLS, REGARDLESS OF HOLDING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES.
