Abstract
White Leghorn hens were artificially inseminated at 13.00 and 16.00h with differently treated
frozen semen stored over different periods. Lake's diluent with 11 per cent glycerol was effective
for cryopreservatian of fowl semen. The Beltsville poultry semen extender (BPSE) with 4 per
cent dimethyl sulfaxide (DMSO) combination gave best total hatchability. Gentamicin
supplementation was found to be essential to improve the semen quality, fertility and
hatchability. Insemination at 16.00h had improved the fertility and hatchability. For optimal
semen quality, fertility, hatchability, economy and simplicity, the semen should be diluted
1 :4, using modified BPSE with 4 per cent DMSO and gentamicin, can be stored up to 60
days and inseminated at 16.00h
