Abstract
AT the junction of uterus and vagina of the turkey a few scattered tubular glands have been observed, Spermatozoa are stored there2 and retain their fertilizing ability for about 45 days2. Turkey semen collected for insemination, however, has to be used within an hour of ejaculation, because fertility decreases considerably after that time.
