Three groups of hens were fed a standard egg-production mixture or similar diets enriched with either sunflower oil or beef tallow. The resulting egg yolks were used to prepare bovine semen diluents. Changes in the liquid fatty acid composition of the diluents were demonstrated by gas-liquid chromatography. No significant effects of the treatments were seen on bovine sperm motility after freezing and thawing, or on fertilty.
