Effect of utilization of Artificial Insemination on fertilization rate in hatching eggs of Syrian local poultry


Abstract in English

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%) .
