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.

Basically it is a two step procedure: first, collecting semen from the male and second, inseminating the semen into the female

The semen is deposited into the female’s reproductive tract. This is done by holding the hen upright and applying pressure to her abdomen around the vent, which causes the oviduct to protrude. A syringe or plastic straw is then inserted to deposit the semen.
Depending on the farm or laboratory’s goals, there may be additional steps involved, such as diluting, storing, or evaluating the semen.

Artificial insemination (AI) is the manual transfer of semen into the female’s vagina. Basically it is a two step procedure

Steps in Artificial Insemination:
1. Semen Collection:
Semen is collected from the male bird by massaging the cloaca to stimulate ejaculation.
2. Semen Evaluation:
The collected semen is checked for volume, motility, and concentration to ensure its quality.
3. Insemination:
A small amount of semen is deposited into the female bird’s oviduct using a syringe or pipette

Artificial insemination (AI) in poultry is a reproductive technique where semen is collected from a male bird (e.g., a rooster or tom turkey) and manually introduced into the reproductive tract of a female bird (e.g., a hen). This method is commonly used in poultry breeding programs, particularly for species where natural mating is difficult or inefficient, such as turkeys.
