Abstract

Artificial insemination is defined as the process of collecting semen from a male animal and artificially inseminating a female under suitable conditions. Achieving high success in artificial insemination requires a solid understanding of the physiology of both the male and female reproductive systems, comprehension of reproductive endocrinology, and accurate evaluation of sperm parameters. Although artificial insemination is less comm on in poultry than in mammals, it remains an important biotechnological tool in breeding programs and genetic resource preservation through semen storage. Additionally, artificial insemination allows the widespread use of a limited number of superior genetically valuable animals. With the continuous advancement of reproductive biotechnology and technologies, their application in poultry should be expanded and more research conducted. This review provides general information on artificial insemination and spermatological parameters in poultry species.

Özet

Suni tohumlama uygulaması kısaca erkek hayvandan elde edilen spermanın uygun koşullar altında yapay yolla dişi hayvana nakledilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Suni tohumlama uygulamasında yüksek başarı sağlanması için erkek üreme sistemi ve dişi üreme sistemi fizyolojisine hâkim olunmalı, üreme endokrinolojisi kavranmalı, kullanılan spermaya ait spermatolojik parametre muayeneleri doğru yapılmalıdır. Kanatlı hayvanlarda suni tohumlama uygulamaları memeli hayvanlar kadar yaygın olmasa da özellikle ıslah çalışmalarında ve sperma saklama yöntemleri ile genetik kaynakların korunması kapsamında önemli bir biyoteknolojik uygulama olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca az sayıda üstün genetik yapıya sahip hayvandan yararlanarak daha geniş alanlara ulaşım imkânı sunmaktadır. Sürekli olarak gelişen ve büyüyen üreme biyoteknolojisi ve teknolojileri kanatlı hayvanlar içinde uygulanmalı ve daha çok çalışmalar yapılmalıdır. Bu derleme makalesinde kanatlı hayvanlarda suni tohumlama ve spermatolojik parametreler ile ilgili genel bilgilere yer verilmiştir.
