| Popis: | INTRODUCTION ARTIFICIAL insemination in the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) has in recent years become almost universal. However, the successful development of a suitable medium for preservation of spermatozoa in vitro for long term storage has not been reported. An approach to preservation in vitro may evolve around the hypothesis that fertility may be related to seminal chemistry, or more important, to the chemistry of the female reproductive tract. It is well established that spermatozoa, once inseminated, live in the female tract for several days prior to fertilization. Little information has been reported on seminal chemistry of the turkey. Brown (1959) reported a seminal plasma concentration of 338 mg. (147 mEq./1.) and 113 mg. (29 mEq./1.) per 100 ml. for sodium and potassium, respectively. Considerable work has been conducted and reported on some of the chemical constituents of fowl seminal plasma. An excellent review has been reported by Lake (1966) which in… |
