Abstract

The main approaches for the successful collection of Japanese quails sperm with female stimulation and describing the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of ejaculate. It was established that stimulation of males using females is the most effective method of maximum quality characteristics: a large volume of ejaculate, and a high concentration of a large number of live morphologically normal sperm is very important to study the reproductive characteristics of quail.
