Oviductal Sperm Numbers Following Proximal Uterine Horn or Uterine Body Insemination
نویسنده
چکیده
For all mares studied, a greater percentage of oviductal sperm were recovered from the ipsilateral oviduct following uterine horn insemination (77.3%) than resulted from uterine body insemination (53.8%). The number of oviductal sperm recovered from reproductively normal mares and mares with delayed uterine clearance was not different.

Induction of dog sperm capacitation by oviductal fluid.
Four estrous beagles were inseminated with 1 x 10(8) sperm into both the right and left uterine horns, and the uterine horn and oviduct on one side were removed under anesthesia after 7 hr and 24 hr, respectively. The lumen of the uterine horns and oviducts was flushed with canine capacitation medium (CCM), and movement of the sperm in CCM was assessed by phase-contrast microscopy. In a second ...
متن کاملEquine reproduction: advances in artificial insemination techniques
This article covers recent developments in the field of equine artificial insemination. Use of both chilled and frozen semen is discussed. For chilled semen, there is new information about what to do if the semen shipment is delayed and on maximising pregnancy rates in older mares by careful evaluation of the cervix. The number of motile sperm needed for insemination is reviewed in light of the...
متن کاملModified insemination procedure in cattle: deep uterine deposition of smaller numbers of frozen-thawed or sex-selected spermatozoa
Despite the long established and widely practised technique of artificial insemination in cattle, specific interactions between mammalian spermatozoa and the female genital tract remain incompletely understood. The following essay summarises one current view of the progress of bull spermatozoa in the female tract relative to the time of ovulation. Drawing on this physiological background, modif...
متن کاملEffect of uterine ligation and cervical plugs on retention of frozen-thawed boar sperm.
Two experiments were conducted to determine whether the prevention of retrograde sperm expulsion from the uterus would enhance ovum fertilization by frozen-thawed boar sperm and whether insertion of a cervical plug would reduce the loss of frozen-thawed boar sperm from the uterus. In Exp. 1, 25 gilts were surgically inseminated and one uterine horn was ligated to prevent expulsion of sperm. Nin...

Ram spermatozoa from the distal caput, corpus, and cauda epididymis and ejaculated spermatozoa were artificially inseminated in 170 ewes which had been treated with an ovulatory dose of PMSG 61 ! 4 hrs previously. Results were expressed as the percent of ewes pregnant 18 days after insemination (F = with positive progesterone assay/ Q inseminated) and embryonic survival (ES = ewes lambing/ preg...
