An easy, safe, and practical method for semen collection in dromedary camels

In the current study, we have developed an easy, practical, and reliable method to collect semen from camel bulls. Simply, intromission ofa super-sensitive artificial insemination glove intravaginally with outer fixation in perineal region lateral dorsal sides of thevulva, mating, withdrawal collection were successive steps. Bull behaviour before during mating process wasobserved. The collected was evaluated aspects colour, volume sperm cell concentration. Also, individual spermmotility fertility by applying in-vitro fertilization investigated after dilution a new extender for camelsemen (100 mmol/l Tris, 65 lactose, 50 glucose, 40 galactose, 125 mg/100ml BSA, IU/ml catalase enzyme,1000 penicillin G 500µg/ml streptomycin: pH 7.0). Presence intravaginal its external adhesivetape did not affect bull willingness interrupt process. Semen successful 112 out total128 trials (87.5%) lengthy copulation (10.3 ± 6.2 min - Mean SD). parameters ejaculates were:volume 8.3 3.6 ml (Mean SD); concentration 437.6 62.4 X 106 SD) sperm/ml; individualmotility liquefaction 45 68.2 11.4 % grayish white creamy colour dependingon Finally, using diluted IVF technique showed cleaved, morula blastocyst rates66.1%, 43.5% 25.8%, respectively. conclusion, AI gloves is practical semencollection will facilitate application reproductive technologies on large scale dromedary camels.Keywords: collection, Camel, In-vitro
