Present study investigated the effect of long term selection for juvenile body weight and egg production on semen quality in
broiler breeder dam line. Semen from males of line selected for juvenile body weight and part period egg production for 19 generations
and from control population that was not under any selection programme was collected evaluated for different semen parameters like
volume, appearance, motility, concentration, fertilizing ability, live, dead and abnormal spermatozoa. Seminal plasma of the two lines
was analysed for protein, cholesterol and nitric oxide levels. The line under selection had significantly (P < 0.05) lower values in
fertilizing ability, protein, cholesterol and nitric oxide levels in comparison to control line. These results suggest that selection for higher
body weight and egg production in broiler breeders affects the semen quality and fertilizing ability
