✦ Synopsis

Turkey sperm were exposed to 2.45-GHz microwave radiation in a temperature-controlled waveguide apparatus. Temperature was maintained at either 25 or 40.5 "C. The sperm were exposed for 30 min at a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 10 or 50 mWig. Following irradiation, the sperm were used to inseminate virgin turkey hens artificially. During the 9 weeks following the single insemination, the following were assessed: mean number of eggs, percentage of fertile eggs, rate of decrease in egg fertility, percentage of hatched eggs, and percentage of early and late deaths. These data demonstrate that, for the conditions used in these experiments, microwave radiation has no effect on the fertilizing capacity of turkey sperm.

## Abstract Rat epididymal spermatozoa, at a concentration of 40–65 Γ— 10^4^ cells/ml, were preincubated for 5–5.5 hr and then added to eggs from superovu‐lated, immature rats. By 10–12 hr after insemination, 86% of the eggs had undergone fertilization, but many of them (41%) were polyspermic. When
