In recent years, concerns have been raised regarding the potentially negative consequences of gamete donation for parent-child relationships. Findings are presented of a study of families with an infant conceived by gamete donation. Fifty donor insemination families and 51 egg donation families were compared with 80 natural conception families on standardized interview and questionnaire measure...

To explore the related factors on the clinical pregnancy outcome in intrauterine insemination, a retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 580 cycles for 301 infertile couples who were treated with intrauterine insemination. The female age, male age, duration of infertility, treatment protocols, endometrial thickness and sperm parameters were compared between pregnant group and ...

A similar proportion of beef cows and heifers exposed to estrous synchronization (ES) and artificial insemination (AI) became pregnant during the breeding season, compared with females bred via natural service breeding. Females in a breeding system that included ES and AI calved earlier in the calving season, compared with females bred with natural service, but no advantage was present for weig...

Maintaining self-sustaining populations of zoo and aquarium collections can be challenged when natural reproduction fails within mixed-sex populations; however, reproductive success sometimes restored with the application technologies. Among a population three female one male Zebra Sharks ( Stegostoma tigrinum ), production young failed despite constant presence two females. To determine if ass...

Horse breeding is the procedure by which an adequate number of sperm are deposited into the uterus of a “healthy” mare at the right time. Although semen deposition is performed in all breeds by natural cover (NC), it is often, and with increasing frequency, done artificially. Although the main difference between natural breeding and artificial insemination (AI) is the delivery method of semen i...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a short insemination procedure on embryo development, assess the reliability of a fertilization check prior to the appearance of pronuclei and elucidate the role of rescue intracytoplasmic sperm injection (R-ICSI). Patients who had ≥9 eggs, were aged <38 years and had normal semen samples were included. The sibling eggs of each patient were divided int...

BACKGROUND Results regarding the use of bovine somatotropin for enhancing fertility in dairy cattle are variable. Here, the hypothesis was tested that a single injection of a sustained-release preparation of bovine somatotropin (bST) during the preovulatory period would improve pregnancy success of lactating dairy cows at first service. RESULTS The first experiment was conducted in a temperat...

This study describes goat system's performance area based on farmers’ attitude and factors influencing adopting Artificial Insemination of system. was conducted Wunduwatu Village Andoolo Sub District, South Konawe District Southeast Sulawesi Province 20...

Insemination at the uterotubal junction is a practical technique that can be used to decrease the number of spermatozoa used per insemination. Video endoscopic insemination allows one to visualize the uterotubal papilla during the insemination and provide higher pregnancy rates than a flexible AI catheter. Further studies are needed to determine if a consistent technique can be developed for de...
