| Abstract |
|
The purpose of this study was designed to compare the storage stage of spermatozoa in the utero-vaginal (U-V) glands and the infundibular glands of high-fecundity hens. These laying hens were assigned to four groups by date intervals after last artificial inseminations. The U-V glands and the infundibular glands in the tissue preparation of the each hen uterus were observed microscopically, and also the appearance rates of spermatozoa-contained U-V glands were compared with those of the infundibular glands. 1. The appearance rates of spermatozoa-contained U-V glands were found to be 27.8, 28.8, 19.9 and 11.1% respectively at the hen groups of 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after artificial insemination. 2. The appearance rates of spermatozoa-contained infundibular glands were found to be 0.5, 1. 1, 0.6 and 0.4% of 1, 3, 7 and 10 days after AI and number of spermatozoa contained in a infundibular glands tended predominantly to be 1 to 2. So this study concluded as follows: The appearance rates of spermatozoa-contained glands were found to be higher in the U-V glands than in the infundibular glands and also spermatozoa number per gland were more numerous in U-V glands than in infundibular glands. |
