Abstract
Twenty four Single Comb males of the Ottawa Meat Control Strain were used to examine the effect on subsequent fertility of storing chicken semen for 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. With increasing storage time, there was a significant (P < .01) decline in fertility as estimated by percent and duration of fertility. The decrease in percent fertility exhibited a linear relationship with storage, whereas the decline in duration of fertility with storage was quadratic. Percent and duration of fertility were correlated within storage times, but in no case was there a correlation between percent and/or duration of fertility at different storage times.
