Human Artificial Insemination: An Analysis and Proposal for Florida

P-84: Blastocysts Production and Collection in Albino Hamster Using Superovulation and Intrauterine Artificial Insemination in Non-Breeding Season

Background: Due to the seasonality reproduction of albino hamster (April to October in the Northern Hemisphere) and the need to produce blastocysts for research applications, producing and collecting blastocysts by natural mating in non-breeding season is complex in this species. In the present study in vivo blastocysts production and collection using super-ovulation and intrauterine inseminati...

Factors influencing the success of an artificial insemination program in Florida goats

An artificial insemination (AI) program using cooled semen was evaluated over a 7-year period in Florida goats. The effect of the following variables on pregnancy rates was analysed: production system, year and season of AI, synchronisation treatment, bucks, AI technicians, semen deposition site, days in milk at AI, milk yield and parity. Animals were reared under field conditions on commercial...

The Impact of Using Artificial Insemination versus Natural Service for Florida Beef Cows

Introduction Estrous synchronization and artificial insemination (AI) are reproductive management tools that have been available to beef producers for over 40 years. Synchronization of the estrous cycle has the potential to shorten the calving season, increase calf uniformity, and enhance the possibilities for utilizing AI. Artificial insemination allows producers the opportunity to infuse supe...
