Artificial Insemination in Swine: Breeding the Female
2018年11月1日 · The reproductive system of female swine is more conducive to AI than that of cattle or sheep, and therefore AI is less time-consuming and easier to accomplish in swine. Still, the proper technique and an understanding of the system are important for best results.
Swine Genetics International
Swine Genetics International is an artificial insemination swine genetics company, also offering swine production related consulting. Liquid semen is available from over 150 sires to help you meet your genetic needs.
Swine AI Guidelines for Beginners - West Virginia University
There are several advantages to using artificial insemination (AI) in swine operations. First, few to no boars are needed, therefore alleviating the cost of feed, housing and medical supplies for intact males. Second, it can save time and labor during breeding and farrowing season when coupled with estrus synchronization.

2016年1月1日 · Artificial insemination is the most efficient breeding method for farms of all sizes and can be effectively implemented regardless of the type of swine housing. The success of the modern AI system relies on a program for selection of high indexing sires that are managed under stringent procedures for efficient production of high-quality sperm.
Oxytocin can be used to stimulate uterine contractions that aid semen intake. Inject one cc of Oxytocin intramuscularly or subcutaneously into the animal’s neck after inserting the rod (see below) and about two minutes before beginning insemination. This has been shown to improve conception rates and litter size for novice inseminators. Figure 2.
New Artificial Insemination Technologies for Swine
2015年7月14日 · Artificial insemination (AI) is the most common reproductive technology in swine production. Over the past decades (1990s and 2000s), a great development of swine AI has been observed. Both the quality control of semen doses and their commercial use have improved through the years.
Artificial insemination (AI) in swine, while not a new technique, is a tool that works only if managed and used properly. Artificial insemination requires a higher level of management than natural service mating systems. Also, there is a greater chance of human error associated with AI than with natural service.

2011年6月21日 · AI of swine is widely practiced and is a very useful tool to introduce superior genes into sow herds, with minimal risk for disease transmission. In practice, fresh diluted semen (3 billion spermatozoa in 80-100 ml) is mostly used for intracervical insemination.The success of AI is largely determined by the semen quality and the insemination ...
To develop improved methods of liquid and frozen semen preservation, in order to further increase the efficiency of artificial insemination (AI.) of swine. To continually explore new methods, such as estrus synchronization, which have the potential of increasing the availability of superior genetics to the swine industry.
New Artificial Insemination Technologies for Swine - PubMed
Better efficiency in swine artificial insemination (AI) is accomplished by reducing the necessary number of sperm cells and achieving high reproductive performance. Some strategies have been developed for use under field conditions, such as the site …
