Semen Placement Effects on Fertility in Bovines

J. W. Macpherson
- 01 May 1968 - 
- Vol. 51, Iss: 5, pp 807-808
TLDR
Bovine spermatozoa from one ejaculate from nine bulls, extended in milk and 10% glycerol, were frozen in glass ampules and a split sample technique was used to compare fertility levels resulting from semen deposition 4, 8, and 12 cm anterior to the external uterine orifice.

Sustaining the Fertility of Artificially Inseminated Dairy Cattle: The Role of the Artificial Insemination Industry

TL;DR: Cryopreservation techniques that extend the duration of post-thaw sperm survival and/or reduce rates of capacitation may reduce sensitivity to insemination timing and are promising opportunities to improve fertility from the male perspective.

Optimising reproductive performance of beef cows and replacement heifers.

Michael G. Diskin, +1 more
- 01 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: Increased efforts are being made internationally to genetically identify and select for more reproductively efficient beef cows, but this is a more long-term strategy and will not replace the need for a high level of technical efficiency and management practice at farm level.

Site of semen deposition in cattle: a review

TL;DR: This review updates the literature on the ideal site of semen deposition, including cervical, uterine body, cornual and intraperitoneal, and the question of whether the clinical training of inseminators should be reevaluated is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonreturn rates of dairy cattle following uterine body or cornual insemination.

TL;DR: Cornual and uterine body deposition of semen yielded similar results; therefore, depositing an inseminate in the uterine horns to maximize fertility is unnecessary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Managing the reproductive performance of beef cows.

TL;DR: A reproductively efficient beef cow herd will be fundamental to meeting the protein and specifically, red meat demand of an ever increasing global population, but attaining a high level of reproductive efficiency is underpinned by producers being cognizant of and achieving many key targets throughout the production cycle and requires considerable technical competency.

The Effect of Cervical, Uterine and Cornual Insemination on Fertility of the Dairy Cow

TL;DR: The results of three different experiments showed that, on a non-return to heat basis of assaying conception, equally satisfactory fertility was obtained from deposition of the diluted semen into the cervix, the body of the uterus or the uterine horns when the inseminating tube was guided into the reproductive tract by the rectal technique.

Interrelationships between Site of Deposition, Dosage, and Number of Spermatozoa in Diluted Semen and Fertility of Dairy Cows Inseminated Artificially

TL;DR: There was a tendency for the higher concentrations, larger dosages, and deeper depositions to produce the highest fertility, with an average increase of 1.2% in nonreturns for each 10 million additional sperm deposited.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Relation of Site of Semen Deposit to Breeding Efficiency of Dairy Cattle

TL;DR: The treatment mean for semen deposited in the body of the uterus was slightly higher than when semen was depositing in the cervix, in each horn of the womb or a combination of the body and cervix; however, no significance is attached to these differences.
