Condition and prospects of artificial insemination with cryopreserved semen in canine reproductology
Abstract
Nowadays, artificial insemination of females with cryopreserved sperm is not widely available and used method in Canine reproductology. Artificial insemination (AI) in the dog is commonly practiced when the female does not accept breeding by a specific male, when a male cannot mount due to physical problems (vertebral column disease, hind leg disease, excessive panting in brachicephalic breeds etc.), or when male and female live far apart and cannot travel. There are fairly small number of specialists who can meet the need of breeders for breeding animals. Artificial insemination has several advantages, among which: a) the possibility of using one ejaculate for insemination of several bitches; b) quality control of the sperm of the dog; c) allows to control the presence of infectious diseases by preventing physical contact and testing of sperm with subsequent treatment for fertilization, and many others.
This article presents a brief overview of the history of insemination of dogs with frozen-thawed sperm. The role of artificial insemination in pedigree work of breeders of dogs is determined, and also what methods of cryopreservation of sperm for artificial insemination of females are used in Ukraine and in the world. The results of other researchers and the efficiency of fertilization are determined during insemination with cryopreserved sperm are also presents in this article.
