Document Summary
Immature female- pullet: baby chicken-chick, mature female-hen, mature male- cock. Virtually all commercial broilers are heavy bodied, white feathered and derived from american and english class breeds. Two general types of commercial table egg productions tock are used in the industry: reproduction, the infundibulum engulfs the ovum when it is ovulated into the body cavity. The magnum is the largest single portion of the oviduct. Most of the protein of the egg is formed. The isthmus is the cite formation of the inner and outer membranes. The ovum receives the shell in the uterus, water and salts are added to the albumin, and shell pigment is formed. The total process takes about 25. 2 hours: the penis of the chicken is small. The lymph fluid is added to the semen in the vas deferens and bother are ejected simultaneously along the longitudinal groove. An ejaculate will amount to about 0. 5 to 1ml volume and contains about 1. 7-3. 5 million spermatozoa.
