Avian Semen Cryopreservation: What Are the Biological Challenges?
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
The value of the ability to cryopreserve and store germplasm has long been recognized for indefinite preservation of genetic material, especially for at-risk populations. In contrast to domestic livestock species, cryogenic storage of poultry semen is not reliable enough for germplasm preservation. The relatively low fertilizing ability of frozen/thawed poultry sperm most likely results from physiological...
