Public Poultry
Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Semen is collected from the male and evaluated for motility, viability, and concentration. Semen is best collected in the early morning, twice a week.

Equipment needed
A small glass funnel with a stem plugged with wax
An inseminating syringe
A wide mouthed glass vial
A small pyrex semen cup
A large flask to hold water at 180°C to 200°C for short term semen holding
-
For insemination, when holding the hen upright, pressure is applied to the abdomen around the vent, particularly on the left side. This causes the cloaca to evert and the oviduct to protrude, so that a syringe or plastic straw can be inserted ~1 in.
-
Depending on the farm or laboratory’s goals, there may be additional steps in the process, such as semen dilution, storage, and evaluation.
-
The most reliable method for inseminating poultry is to deposit semen directly into the mid vaginal area.
-
Artificial insemination (AI) in broiler breeders is a technique used to ensure efficient fertilization, especially in cases where natural mating may be challenging due to the size and weight of the birds
-
Insemination in broilers, or any poultry, is typically done through artificial insemination (AI) to enhance breeding efficiency, especially in commercial poultry farming.
-
The semen is deposited into the female’s reproductive tract.
