Techniques of artificial insemination in farmed turkeys

In order to solve the problem of difficult breeding of large turkeys and to improve the utilization rate and egg clearance rate of breeding male turkeys, artificial insemination should be adopted. In artificial insemination, it is necessary to choose strong and high-quality male turkeys. Each male turkey can be inseminated to more than 15 female turkeys at the same time, according to this ratio, it can not only improve the breeding value of chicks, but also save feed and expenditure. The large turkey is big and bulky, and it is very difficult to mate. It often happens to trample the rent arc to hurt the female turkey. These difficulties can be solved by artificial insemination. At the same time, it can also improve the fertilization rate of breeding eggs.

Artificial insemination is better than natural insemination because the number of insemination and the amount of semen can be controlled by people. After the female turkey was fertilized, 26 /], the breeding eggs were fertilized for a longer time than chickens, of which 60-70% could be fertilized for 2c days, and then the fertilization rate decreased gradually. sometimes it can be fertilized for 45 days after insemination. Although turkey love worms survive for a long time in the reproductive tract of female turkeys, the fertilization rate of small and medium-sized turkeys decreases at the end of the breeding season. In order to make full use of turkey breeding season to improve the fertilization rate of breeding eggs, artificial insemination is often used to breed small and medium-sized turkeys abroad.
