  • Title: [Spermatozoa transport in the oviduct of the chicken and the turkey].
    Author: Brillard JP.
    Journal: Reprod Nutr Dev; 1990; 30(2):175-82. PubMed ID: 2190574.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies of the storage and release of spermatozoa from utero-vaginal glands in birds have shown that: following intra-vaginal insemination, storage is completed within 2-3 d (domestic hen) or 1-5 d (turkey) and not within a few minutes or hours as previously described; as spermatozoa can be recovered from any segment of the oviduct during the egg formation cycle, it seems unlikely that sperm release from the utero-vaginal glands is directly dependent upon the egg formation cycle. The progressive inability of spermatozoa to agglutinate may be part of this mechanism.
