The real value of this project is to see if we can freeze the semen, store it for a period of time and inseminate the female. Because different kinds of semen respond differently to the freezing, it's a very complicated process. |
We also help to send wild bird semen to captive birds in order to replenish their wild blood. |
We thought this would be a relatively simple process. Domesticated chickens are more used to being handled and as a result their semen is easier to collect. |
