| Abstract | The ability to store turkey semen for 24 h in vitro without a significant loss in fertility would benefit the commercial turkey industry. We investigated the use of exogenous phosphatidylcholine to improve the viability, mobility, hydrolyzing ability, and fertility of stored turkey sperm. For experiment 1, semen was diluted 1:1 with extender containing 0.0 (control), 0.5, 2.5, or 10.0 mg/mL of phosphatidylcholine labeled with a fluorochrome and maintained under aerobic conditions for 24 h at 4°C. Semen aliquots were removed at 30-min intervals during the first 4 h and at 1-h intervals from 8 to 24 h of storage for fluorometric evaluation by flow cytometry. Turkey sperm incorporated labeled phosphatidylcholine in a dose-dependent manner during the first 12 h of storage (P<0.05). At 24 h of storage, phosphatidylcholine uptake increased 7.8-fold for the 0.5-mg treatment, 9.2-fold for the 2.5-mg treatment, and 6.7-fold for the 10-mg labeled phosphatidylcholine treatment. For experiment 2, turkey semen was diluted and stored as for experiment 1 except the phosphatidylcholine was unlabeled. After 24 h, the viability, mobility, hydrolyzing ability, and fertility of turkey sperm was assessed. Supplemental phosphatidylcholine did not improve (P>0.05) the viability or mobility of stored sperm. At 2.5 mg/mL, phosphatidylcholine improved the hydrolyzing ability of stored sperm compared with control or other phosphatidylcholine treatments (P<0.05). The mean fertility rate of eggs from hens inseminated with control semen was 33.5%±4.5. Use of 0.5, 2.5, or 10.0 mg phosphatidylcholine/mL improved (P<0.05) the fertility rates during the first 11 wk of egg production; higher fertility rates occurred with 2.5 mg phosphatidylcholine/mL compared with other phosphatidylcholine treatments for 5 of those 11 wk (P<0.05). We conclude that supplemental phosphatidylcholine appears to counteract the damaging effects of lipid peroxidation or enzymatic degradation during in vitro storage by providing exogenous phospholipids for incorporation into the turkey sperm plasma membrane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
