Broiler type hens maintained in individual cages were artificially inseminated with either 0.023, 0.035, or 0.047 ml. of pooled semen. Insemination intervals were nine, nine, and ten days on a repetitive basis. This schedule was adopted because it allowed an extension of the conventional insemination interval and yet remained compatible with a five-day industrial work-week. The results demonstrated that maintaining broiler breeder hens in cages and utilizing artificial insemination as a means of obtaining fertile eggs were feasible. The data also indicated that extending the insemination interval to 10 days is possible providing the number of spermatozoa inseminated is increased.
将笼养的肉种母鸡分别用0.023毫升、0.035毫升或0.047毫升的混合精液进行人工授精。授精间隔分别为9天、9天和10天，重复进行。采用这个时间表是因为它可以延长传统的授精间隔，同时仍与五天的工业工作周相适应。结果表明，将肉种母鸡笼养并利用人工授精来获取种蛋是可行的。数据还表明，如果增加授精时精子的数量，将授精间隔延长至10天是可能的。
