    Method of Mating 14.10.10 New Microsoft Office PowerPoint Presentation

    Uploaded by

    Dhanasingh Naik B S
    This document discusses five methods of mating birds for breeding purposes: pen mating, flock mating, stud mating, shift mating, and artificial insemination. Pen mating involves housing males and females separately in pens, while flock mating allows free mating of an entire flock. Stud mating confines valuable males individually for mating. Shift mating periodically moves males between female pens. Artificial insemination involves manually depositing semen into hens' reproductive tracts. Each method has advantages and disadvantages for fertility, parentage tracking, and efficiency. Artificial insemination and pen mating are most commonly used in commercial poultry breeding.

    Methods of

    Mating
    Dr. H. N. N. Murthy
    Head of the Department
    Department of Poultry Science

    Play

    major role in obtaining fertility of eggs

    from breeder birds.


    Five methods of mating,
    1. Pen mating
    2. Flock mating
    3. Stud mating
    4. Shift mating
    5. Artificial Insemination (AI)

    Pen Mating
    Group

    of females allowed to
    mate with single male in separate
    pens.
    Mating ratio
    Egg type - 10 to 12
    Meat type 6 to 8
    Followed for pedigree hatching.
    Parentage- through Trap nesting
    of hens.

    Fertility

    not as good as of flock

    mating
    1. Preferential mating (male
    heading the
    pen may not like to mate with a
    particular female and viceversa)
    2. No competition between males.
    Requires more labour.

    Flock mating
    Flock

    or Mass mating - Required no


    of males allowed to mate with
    entire flock of hens.
    Better fertility obtained than from
    pen mating.
    Reduces the chances of likeness or
    social order in mating
    Parentage of off spring cannot be
    known

    Number

    of hens per male vary


    with size and age of birds
    Young males more active than older
    one
    Mating ratio
    Light breeds 1:10 to 12
    Heavy breeds 1: 8 to 10
    Fertility
    improved by using
    cockerels with older hens and older
    males with pullets.

    Stud mating
    Male

    confined in small individual


    pens (studs) within the laying pen.
    Female held in stud till mated
    then removed and another female
    added.
    Possible to mate more females to
    male compared to other two.
    Used when a very valuable male
    used as breeder.

    For

    optimum fertility - Two mating


    per wk or at least once in 5 days
    Requires more labour, hence
    more expensive.
    Excellent for increasing the utility
    of outstanding males to increase
    the off spring mating.

    Shift Mating
    Males

    are shifted from one pen to


    another after certain period of
    time
    Helps in thorough testing of
    females as they are exposed to
    several males for mating.
    Accuracy of parentage can be
    maintained

    Major

    draw back- overlapping of


    the paternity when males changed
    To overcome this
    1.Discard the eggs for one week
    after shifting of old male and
    housing of new male
    2. By using AI(sperm in oviduct
    cannot compete with those in
    fresher semen, therefore eggs laid
    on second day after AI attributable
    to new sire.

    Artificial Insemination (AI)


    Excellent

    method to increase the


    efficiency of breeding programme.
    Semen obtained massaging the
    males back
    Insemination dose - 0.03-0.05 ml
    (20-25 million spermatozoa)
    Insemination time afternoon hours
    Frequency twice a wk or atleast
    once in 5 days

    Transfer of semen into


    oviduct
    Tuberculin

    syringe can be used


    Abdomen of the female pressed
    to evert cloaca, to expose
    vaginal opening (seen at the left
    side of vent)
    Inseminating equipment
    introduced abt 2.5 cm to deposit

    Characteristics
    Characters
    of semen
    Volume, ml

    of semen

    Chicken
    0.75 to 1.0

    Concentration, 1.75 to 3
    billion
    Appearence
    Pearly white

    Advantages
    Rapid

    movement of genetic profile of

    poultry
    Increases the utility of outstanding males
    Eliminates completely social order in mating
    Increases accuracy in parentage
    determination,
    Hybridization between different species
    possible
    In caged layers - fertile eggs obtained only
    by AI

    Disadvantages
    Requires

    trained personnel
    Requires more labour
    Handling causes stress to birds
    Chances of cross contamination of
    birds through the inseminating
    equipment
    Pen mating or AI- commonly
    practiced method in most of
    Poultry breeding farms
