Fertility of fresh and stored turkey spermatozoa in the presence or absence of glucose or fructose in the suspension medium.

Turkey hens were inseminated with either fresh or stored (4 hr at 15 C) semen suspended in a sugar-free medium or one containing 15 mM glucose or fructose. Rates of fertilization of eggs collected for 15 days after insemination were not affected by the presence or absence of glucose or fructose in the medium nor by storage.
