Frozen turkey semen.
Semen samples from Bronze turkeys, extended with Brown's buffer and antibiotics, and protected with combinations of ethylene glycol-glycerol and N,N-dimethylacetamide-glycerol were frozen at the rate of 8 degrees C per minute down to -196 degrees C. Similar treatments were used as controls. Five White virgin hens were inseminated with semen from each group before and after dialysis. The per cent fertility of the frozen semen samples after dialysis was lower than the corresponding control groups.
