Percentages of unfertilised eggs, early (EEM) and late (LEM) embryonic mortality and fertility after artificial insemination in hens with sperm from RU (dietary exposure to Roundup) and control (CT) roosters. Results are presented as means ± SEM.

| EEM | 2.51 ± 1.04 | 1.51 ± 0.92 | 0.44 |
| LEM | 0.80 ± 0.80 | 0.83 ± 0.83 | 0.99 |
| Hatchability of fertile eggs | 90.87 ± 3.40 | 91.11 ± 2.37 | 0.99 |
| Fertility | 93.98 ± 3.42 | 93.28 ± 2.10 | 0.81 |
