Beef cows (n=23 ) were used to compared conception rates of two different thawing methods
used for artificial insemination (AI ) . Cows were divided into the treatment or control group
based on time of estrus . In the treatment , frozen semen was placed directly into the AI gun
and inserted into the female for deposition after a minimum of 30 seconds . The control
females experienced the typical thawing process of semen straws placed in a water bath for a
minimum of 30 seconds , then loaded into the AI gun and deposited into the uterus of the
female . Conception rates were similar between semen thawing methods (P > 0 .51 ) .
Additionally , the study analyzed semen motility using the two different thaw methods and
found no difference (P = 1 .0 ) . In conclusion , thawing semen directly in the reproductive tract
of the female provides the same conception rates as traditional thaw methods . |
