Abstract :
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can affect avian reproductive biology and physiology, so exposure to them has become a concern. The purpose of this review is to summarize current research on EMFs and avian reproduction. Various reproductive processes, like sperm quality, egg production, and embryo development, have been shown to be affected by EMFs. In addition, EMFs can affect avian hormones. However, we don`t know exactly how EMFs do this. This review highlights the need for more research on EMFs and avian reproduction.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Avian reproduction, electromagnetic fields, sperm quality, egg production, embryo development, hormonal regulation.
