	Artificial insemination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artificial insemination is used in animals to propagate desirable characteristics of one male to many females or overcome breeding problems, particularly in the cases of horses, cattle, pigs, pedigreed dogs, and honeybees.
		Artificial insemination of farm animals is very common in today's agriculture industry, especially for breeding dairy cattle (75% of all inseminations) and swine (up to 85% of all inseminations).
		Thus, apparently artificial insemination was attempted on Juana, wife of King Henry IV of Castile.

	Equine Artificial Insemination
		Insemination per vagina does mean that probably the most important part of the process is the preparation, during which the perineal area is cleansed as for surgery, most commonly using an iodine preparation such as "Betadine".
		The mare is preferably secured in breeding stocks, and her tail is wrapped and deflected to one side where it should remain throughout the whole insemination process to avoid contamination of the scrubbed area.
		Using a sterile lubricated gloved arm (the glove having been reversed to ensure maximum cleanliness), the inseminator will introduce his arm into the mare's vagina, palpate the cervix, which should be found on the bottom (ventral) surface of the head-ward (cranial) portion of the vagina.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Artificial Insemination
		Artificial insemination, sometimes known as "alternative insemination" or "donor insemination," is a procedure by which semen is injected into the uterus for the purpose of impregnation.
		Although Arabs used artificial insemination in horse breeding as early as the fourteenth century, and Lazzaro Spallanzani transferred male dog semen into a rutting female in 1780, it was the British surgeon John Hunter who carried out the first successful experiment on humans at about the same time.
		It was much easier to inseminate animals where rutting occurs, and the Russian physiologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, in the first part of the twentieth century, demonstrated that the sole necessary condition for impregnation of most domestic animals and poultry was the union of the sperm with the egg.

	Artificial Insemination
		The important difference between a trans-cervical insemination and a surgical implant is, obviously, that the trans-cervical does not entail the risks of general anaesthesia and surgery.
		The most common reason for failure of artificial insemination is breeding at an inappropriate (usually early) time, and failure to follow up with inseminations later at the correct time.
		A frequent cause of failure to conceive by artificial insemination is the lack of a fully developed season in the bitch, and the failure to ovulate.

	ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
		Artificial insemination (also called donor insemination) is a procedure by which a woman is impregnated by a means other than sexual intercourse.
		If the semen came from her husband (called homologous artificial insemination), the father is treated the same as any other father of a child conceived during the marriage.
		If an unmarried woman is inseminated under the supervision of a physician, the semen donor is not considered the father of the child.

	Artificial Insemination Of Dairy Goats

	Intrauterine Insemination for Infertility
		Intrauterine insemination with partner's sperm can be used as a potentially effective treatment for infertility of all causes in women under about age 45 except for cases with tubal blockage, severe tubal damage, very poor egg quantity and quality, ovarian failure (menopause), and severe male factor infertility.
		In vitro fertilization with the woman's eggs or IVF with donor eggs are alternatives for couples that are not candidates for artificial insemination.
		Insemination done 24 hours after ovulation is, therefore, very unlikely to result in fertilization and pregnancy (although they might conceive if intercourse occurred earlier that cycle).

	Physiology, pregnancy diagnosis and artificial insemination with fresh semen.
		If the semen is being collected for artificial insemination as well as evaluation, enough prostatic fraction is collected to bring the total volume to three to 10 ml so large numbers of sperm are not lost in the insemination process and the insemination volume is comfortable to work with.
		Artificial insemination is performed when behavioural problems prevent mating (especially female dominance) when mounting is difficult or unlikely due to orthopedic problems or inexperience, or when transported or frozen semen is use.
		Artificial insemination of the bitch is most easily performed by depositing the semen in the cranial vagina with a Cassou sheath shortened to about 25 cm.

	METHODS: ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Artificial insemination by husband (AIH), also called intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an appropriate choice for couples when the male suffers from a moderately low sperm count (3-10 million sperm per mL of ejaculate).
		Artificial insemination, or AI, is usually combined with superovulation of the wife, a technique which causes the woman to produce more than one egg per cycle and increases the chance that sperm and egg will meet.
		Artificial Insemination by Donor is a simple procedure used when the woman has no partner, or if her partner is completely infertile.

	Fertility treatment: Artificial insemination (IUI)
		Artificial insemination can help you conceive if you have a sperm allergy or if your partner has a low sperm count or poor sperm motility (his sperm can't make the long journey to the egg).
		For many couples, artificial insemination is the first step in treatment because it's less invasive and less expensive than assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
		Because timing of the insemination is so crucial, your partner must be able to quickly produce a sperm sample by masturbating into a cup at your doctor's office or clinic.

		Artificial Insemination is relatively new to the TWH breed, although we were 3-4 years ahead of the QH, and the TB still does not recognize the technique as the way of the future for breeding.
		Insemination should be accompanied by a shot of HCG to cause ovulation.
		(More than one insemination statistically results in better take rates.) If the mare can not be followed exactly at home due to distance, vet care, work, etc., she should be moved temporarily to the veterinarian or breeding farm for the development of the follicle to be followed and the insemination to be done.

		When sperm from the patient's husband is used, we term the process artificial insemination with husband's sperm (AIH).
		In our office, artificial insemination is most often performed by depositing a processed sperm specimen into the uterus of the patient (intrauterine insemination, IUI).
