“…It was determined under low magnification (10X) of light microscope with cover slip and scored as described by Wheeler and Andrews (1943). For artificial insemination, vaginal eversion was made by gentle pressure on left side of the abdomen through the cloaca (Quinn and Burrows, 1936). Subsequently, with the help of tuberculin syringe which contain the doses (60-100 million spermatozoa) of good quality diluted semen, insemination was done (0.1 mL) into the well everted oviduct (to the depth 3-4 cm or as close as possible to the sperm host gland) and concurrently with the release of pressure on the abdomen so that oviduct revert to its normal position.…”

This study was conducted to identify the suitable diluent for short-term preservation (0, 24 and 48 h) of Guinea fowl (pearl variety) semen. Semen samples were collected and diluted with normal saline, CARI, BPSE and Lake's semen diluents and kept at 6°C for storage. No significant difference was found in sperm motility among the different diluents at 0 h (freshly ejaculated) storage period. A significant (p<0.05) reduction was found in sperm motility among all the diluents at 24 h storage period. Subsequently, there was no sperm motility was recorded in normal saline diluted semen samples at 48 h storage period. While a reduction (p<0.05) in sperm motility was recorded in rest of the three semen diluents. The mean values for fertility with freshly ejaculated semen during 2-12 days of fertile period were recorded as 66.27±4.08, 78.90±3.08, 64.90±4.87 and 67.99±6.36% whereas, after 24 h storage of semen, fertility reduced drastically such as: 0, 41.97±7.27, 36.09±8.72 and 30.90±7.12% in normal saline, CARI, BPSE and Lake's semen diluent, respectively. No fertility was noticed at 48 h storage in any semen diluent. Irrespective of the storage period and diluents, CARI semen diluent expressed better fertility than others in Guinea fowl.

“…Artificial insemination (AI) was first successful in birds almost a century ago when Ivanov produced fertile chicken eggs using semen recovered from the ductus deferens [1]. The most widely used technique of intravaginal insemination was first reported by Quinn and Burrows in 1936 [1].…”
