This research was conducted to apply the technique of Artificial Insemination in
poultry for the first time in the Syrian Arab Republic , and study the differences between
the impact of the use of fresh or stored semen on the fertilization rate in
hatching eggs .
Results showed that the response to massage was different between cocks, It was greater in
the cock A and cock B while the cock C was the least response to massage. The greater
volume of ejaculate was obtained from the cock A( 0.072) ml ,and the least volume of
ejaculate was obtained from the cock B (0.05) ml . The volume of ejaculate obtained from
the three cocks was ranged between (0.049 -0.072) ml. The value of X in the count ranged
between (230 - 237) sperm, semen concentration ranged between (4.6 - 4.7) billion sperm /
ml. It also found that Insemination with a fresh semen injection yielded fertilization rate
(91%), While insemination with semen injection cooling at the heat +4 ̊ C for 48 hours
yielded fertilization rate (67%) .
This research was conducted with the aim of applying artificial insemination in poultry for the first time in the Syrian Arab country by studying the semen quality of local Syrian roosters and knowing the differences between the effect of using fresh or cooled semen on the fertilization rate in hatching eggs
