An artificial insemination pipette with a 1- to 2-mL syringe attached is placed deep into the vagina. This method is quick and involves minimal restraint of the ewe. For cervical insemination, the ewe is restrained to limit movement and to present the hindquarters at a convenient height for easy access to the vagina.

We describe the different types of estrus induction and synchronization techniques and the use of the AI with fresh, chilled or frozen semen. Through the adequacy of the protocols of estrus synchronization and AI to the different production systems, the efficient use of reproductive techniques is possible, reaching acceptable pregnancy rates.

Laparoscopic artificial insemination involves the synchronization of estrus and a single, timed insemination of ewes or does with a minor surgical procedure. The laparoscope is a rigid fiber-optic scope, which is passed through the abdominal …

AB Europe’s veterinary teams specialise in laparoscopic AI in sheep; they are highly experienced and can inseminate large numbers of ewes daily, depending on your set up. AI offers sheep breeders the opportunity to maximise production potential: Using one ram to serve more ewes during a period of time than he could naturally achieve

Artificial insemination (AI) allows a single ram to serve more ewes than he would be able to naturally. Ewes are synchronised, giving you a more compact lambing time, more efficient use of labour and the production of uniform batches of lambs for shows and sales.

2016年9月3日 · Artificial insemination (AI) provides many benefits to the producer. They include, but are not limited to, the following: • Increased genetic gain by allowing increased selection pressure on the ram population to hasten genetic improvement. • Increased offspring from a superior sire. • Availability of a superior sire to small flocks.

2024年6月25日 · There are 2 common AI methods used for sheep: cervical AI and laparoscopic AI. Laparoscopic or surgical AI involves using a laparoscope to visualize the reproductive organs and directly deposit semen into the uterine horns. This method requires more specialized equipment and technical expertise.

2015年12月31日 · This two year project investigated a farmer-friendly, low cost artificial insemination (AI) technique for sheep. The team consisted of four farmer producers from two farms, and two veterinarians, one of whom is also a producer, for a total of three farms.
