Sexually mature commercial broiler breeder pullets were housed singly in laying cages or in floor pens and mated by means of artificial insemination alone, natural mating and natural mating supplemented by artificial insemination. The best fertility, was obtained by the combination method where natural mating was supplemented with artificial inseminations of 0.05 or 0.025 ml of undiluted pooled semen twice a week. Other reproductive traits including percent hatch of fertile eggs and chicks per hen were not affected by method of mating.
性成熟的商品肉种鸡育成母鸡单独饲养在产蛋笼或地面围栏中，仅通过人工授精、自然交配以及自然交配辅以人工授精的方式进行配种。通过自然交配辅以每周两次0.05毫升或0.025毫升未稀释混合精液人工授精的组合方法获得了最佳受精率。包括受精蛋孵化率和每只母鸡产雏数在内的其他繁殖性状不受配种方式的影响。
