- The study analyzed the hydrolysis points produced by spermatozoa in egg samples from commercial broiler breeder flocks, revealing that most distributions were positively skewed but transformed into two distinct populations.
- Flocks with low fertility showed higher instances of eggs lacking spermatozoa and significantly lower median and mean points of hydrolysis compared to fertile control flocks.
- A clear log-linear correlation was established between flock fertility and median points of hydrolysis, providing a straightforward method for estimating overall flock fertility from a sample of eggs.
1. Data on 13,773 pullets, the progeny of 30 to 50 sires and about 135 to 220 dams per generation of a strain of White Leghorn under long-term selection for part period egg production over 16 generations, were examined. 2.
