Interpretive Summary: This is a protocol for removing glycerol from thawed poultry semen prior to insemination. The advantages of this method versus serial dilution include fewer dilutions and centrifugations and a more complete reduction in glycerol content. However, this protocol does require the use of a refrigerated centrifuge to maintain temperature during the long centrifugation. The following protocol is based on the original publication from McLean et al., (1998).
