The effect of sodium pentobarbital on the fertility of fowl spermatozoa.
The effect of three levels of sodium pentobarbital in modified glycine-citrate extender on the preservation of the fertilizing capacity of fowl spermatozoa was tested. Extended semen samples were stored for 24 and 48 hr at 2 C before insemination. Insemination with semen stored for 24 hr in the extender containing 120 mg of sodium pentobarbital provided the best results (73.9%).
