Sperm mobility is predictive of the relative genetic contribution among competing mating geese, as determined by microsatellite genotype identification of potential sires
ABSTRACT: The low reproductive efficiency (RE) of geese limits their production in the poultry industry. To select ganders with high breeding potential, the effect of 3 sperm mobility ranks (SMRs; high-, medium-, and low-SMR) on the RE of naturally mating geese was determined. To exclude the confoun...
