Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of semen collection temperature and semen collection method on the viability of turkey spermatozoa. When semen was collected into a dry tube maintained at 5 C, the fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa was lower (81%) than when semen was collected into dry tubes maintained at 15 (90%) and 25 C (93%) or a tube containing Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) maintained at 5 C (93%). When semen was collected into tubes containing BPSE, the fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa (92 to 96%) was not affected by collection temperature. Sperm motility and egg hatchability were not affected by semen collection temperature or semen collection method.
