What Is AI?
• General definition-the introduction of semen into the oviduct or uterus by some means other than sexual intercourse.
• Ag definition- the use of semen from a genetically superior male to inseminate a female resulting in a genetically superior offspring.

Why Use AI?
• AI provides the producer an opportunity to use sires possessing superior genetics. Depending upon the needs and goals of an individual's breeding program, AI offers an economically feasible means of increasing productivity over a wide range of traits.
• In spite of this enormous potential to improve production levels, many producers have not put themselves in a position to take advantage of the benefits offered by AI.

Advantages
• Best possible sires of proven quality

Overview of Artificial Insemination (What Has To Be Considered First)
![Page 7: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fertility Testing
• Important step in evaluating males to be kept for breeding.
• Indispensable in the area of artificial insemination since a bull may be worth thousands of dollars & still produce progeny long after his death (because the semen is stored).
• The process of evaluating the bull's ability to reproduce.
![Page 8: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Factors to consider in Testing
• Libido (sex drive) - This is especially important in bulls kept for natural breeding since some bulls are more active breeders than others.
• Scrotal circumference - This is an observable, measurable characteristic that indicates fertility.
• In general, the greater the scrotal circumference, the greater the sperm production, hence increased fertility.
• Semen evaluation - This is the most important factor in fertility testing. Semen is evaluated for:
![Page 9: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Semen Evaluated For Appearance
• A uniform solid, dense appearance indicates a high sperm concentration.
• A sample which appears to be translucent contains fewer sperm cells.
• Semen with a curd appearance should not be used as this indicates inflammation.
![Page 10: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Semen Evaluated For Volume
• May vary depending on the age of the bull or sire.
• Younger sires produce a smaller volume of semen which is not a negative factor as long as the concentration of semen is good.
![Page 11: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Motility
• It must be evaluated under a microscope at 400X.
• Most semen should contain 70 percent or more motile cells
![Page 12: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Concentration
• Determined by the number of sperm per milliliter of semen.
• This is probably the most important indicator of fertility, except with sires, in which scrotal circumference is the determinant.
![Page 13: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Morphology
• The proportion of abnormal sperm should not exceed 20 percent.
• Most males do, however, produce some abnormal sperm.
![Page 14: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Semen Collection Methods: Artificial Vagina in goats and cattles
• Consists of an outer tube or casing which is constructed of heavy rubber or plastic, and an inner tube or lining of thin rubber.
• The space between the two tubes is filled with warm water, which maintains the collected sperm at a constant temperature, neither too hot or too cold.
![Page 15: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Semen Collection Methods: Artificial Vagina
• One end of the apparatus is open to allow the entrance of the penis and the other end is attached to a glass tube or beaker to receive the ejaculated semen.
• This is the most commonly used device for collecting semen.
![Page 17: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Semen Collection Methods: Electric Stimulation
• An electro-ejaculator apparatuses introduces a weak alternating current to the sacral and pelvic nerves via electrodes placed in the rectum until erection and ejaculation occur.
![Page 18: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Semen Collection Methods: Electric Stimulation
• It is used on all farm animals except boars and horses.
• It is used effectively on bulls that cannot mount due to leg injuries.
![Page 19: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Semen Preparation: Storage & Shipment
• It may be kept at room temperature if it is to be used within two hours of collection.
• If the semen will be put into long-term storage, semen needs to be gradually cooled and frozen a temperature below zero.
![Page 20: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/55cf1868bb61ebbc1e8b4572/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Advantages of AI
• Genetic Improvement– Wide spread use and availability of genetically
superior sires– 1 bull can breed 500,000 cows in a lifetime– After death, semen can be used
• Oldest frozen semen 40 - 45 years old
• Rapid proof of sire– Progeny testing examines offspring for desired
traits– With natural mating would only have 100’s of
offspring

Use and Success of AISemen
Species Liquid Frozen Preg. Rate Major Problems
Dairy Cattle OK OK 60-70 OK, need good heatdetection
Beef Cattle OK OK 55-65 Range area large:poor heat detection
Sheep OK Fair 50-65 Large range; low value of ewe
Swine OK Fair 40-75 Estrus detection
Horses OK Fair 30-60 Timing insemination,breed restrictions
Turkey OK Poor 90 None
Humans OK Fair 5-30 Donors; infertility; time
