title: The effect of sodium pentobarbital on the preservation of fertilizing capacity of turkey spermatozoa.
abstract: The effect of sodium pentobarbital in modified glycine citrate extender on the preservation of fertilizing capacity of turkey spermatozoa was tested. Extended semen samples were stored for 6 or 24 hr at 4 C before insemination. Although there was an indication that the addition of 120 mg of sodium pentobarbital per 1 liter of extender was beneficial at 24 hr storage, the difference was not statistically significant.
