Abstract
A description is given of an experiment to find out whether or not fowl spermatozoa are susceptible to temperature shock. Evidence was obtained that there is no significant decrease in the fertilizing power of fowl spermatozoa when the semen is exposed to a rapid fall in temperature at the time of collection.Keywords
