“…Supplementation of vitamin E and selenium yeast resulted in improvements such as increased hatchability, post hatch growth during the first 7 days, fertility, and embryo weights in guinea fowl [ 80 ]. Manganese (Mn) supplementation of 10 mg/kg of feed significantly increased sperm mass and lowered the frequency of abnormal sperm in cocks, while in dual purpose cross bred hens, Mn in the control diet (16 mg/kg from raw materials and 20 mg/from organic or inorganic source) can profoundly improve reproductive efficiency, egg production, quality, and economic gains [ 81 ].…”

The goose is a popular poultry species, and in the past two decades the goose industry has become highly profitable across the globe. Ganders low reproductive performance remains a barrier to achieving high fertility and hatchability in subsequent flocks. To address the global demand for cheaper animal protein, various methodologies for improving avian (re)production should be explored. A large amount of literature is available on reproduction traits and techniques for commercial chicken breeder flocks, while research on improved reproduction in ganders has been carried out to a lesser extent. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive literature overview focusing on recent advancements/techniques used in improving gander reproductive efficacy in the context of ensuring a globally sustainable goose industry.
