	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.

	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).

	Artificial Insemination
		Artificial insemination is a unique area of medicine in that it does not involve a life-threatening ailment or set remedy.
		Men who provide the semen for donor insemination have been called donors by most authors, although other terms, such as vendor (for men who sell their semen) and consignor (for a man who hands over his semen an the rights to it) have been proposed.
		In the case that a woman self inseminates, the child she bears is a bastard.

	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.

	Insemination
		Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a type of artificial insemination where washed and processed semen is introduced with a catheter directly into the uterine cavity.
		Women undergoing artificial insemination with donor sperm who have no factors decreasing their fertility and who are 35 years old or younger should expect pregnancy rates of 10-20% per cycle.
		The inseminations are performed by our physicians on a rotational basis, and the doctor doing your insemination need not necessarily be the one you met when you were first seen at our facility.

		Artificial insemination gave birth to 25 baby pandas this year, of which 21 have survived, a record number since China first took the challenge in the 1960s.
		Artificial insemination techniques are more precise; pregnancy tests are more accurate; and the odds of a fragile newborn surviving are improving dramatically.
		Artificial insemination is being used to breed and reintroduce the fl-footed ferret whose numbers in the wild have been reduced to only 18 individuals.

	Artificial Insemination Of Dairy Goats
		Artificial insemination (A.I.) involves collection of semen from a buck and transfer of the semen to the reproductive tract of the doe.
		Semen must be kept warm and must not be exposed to sunlight or water during the thawing and inseminating process to prevent damaging or killing sperm cells.
		Artificial insemination is a powerful tool that can allow dairy goat breeders the flexibility to increase the rate of genetic improvement in their herds.

	Pacific Fertility Center - Donor Insemination (DI)
		Donor insemination (DI) is the process of inseminating a woman with sperm obtained from a sperm donor.
		If a woman seeks insemination with a physician, the sperm is shipped directly to our office from the bank and it is stored here until the appropriate time in the cycle for insemination.
		Intrauterine insemination is usually recommended because studies have shown that the chances of successful conception are higher if timing of exposure to sperm is controlled, and if sperm is placed in higher numbers closer to the egg or eggs.

	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.

	Alternative Insemination
		Alternative insemination (AI) (also known as donor insemination, artificial insemination, and artificial fertilization) refers to a process where donated semen is inserted into a woman’s vagina or uterus for the purposes of conception.
		A research study done at the Fenway Center in Boston showed that the method of intra-uterine insemination (placing washed sperm directly into the uterus with a small catheter by a health care worker) was more effective for lesbians in achieving a pregnancy, than placing the sperm into the cervix.
		The non-biological parent will not have legal rights to the child unless she goes through second-parent adoption or a step-parent adoption which is only legal in some states.

	Artificial Insemination
		In general, Artificial Insemination (AI) involves placing sperm directly in the female reproductive tract of an infertile patient whose ovaries may or may not be stimulated with hormones.
		Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) and ovarian stimulation with exogenous hormones is the alternative with the highest probability of pregnancy for couples with infertility associated with specific diagnoses-directed treatments and those with unexplained infertility.
		Some patients may need a hysterosalpingogram, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy prior to insemination to determine the status of the fallopian tubes, absence of severe adhesions in the pelvic cavity and a reproductive tract free of problems interfering with conception and pregnancy.

		Donors were usually medical students, and the inseminations were handled in the private offices of obstetrician/gynecologists who often swore their patients to secrecy.
		In this respect, Cordray says that children of donor insemination, or DI children, are very much like adoptees, who have similar concerns about biologic origins.
		While the mother can get that information, she is not given access to the actual donor identity, but the "adult child has a right to the identity information, and if it is requested by the child it is released," says Mills.

	FertilityPlus: IUI FAQ
		Intrauterine insemination (IUI) of washed spermatozoa produced 17% pregnancies in the initial 4 months, but the success rate of the subsequent cycles (1.7% per cycle) was not different from that of the controls.
		The 10th percentile of sperm characteristics (cut-off values) of successful cases showed intrauterine insemination to be advantageous in cases with a lower percentage of spermatozoa with progressive motility (9%) than in the controls (15%).
		Employing a common standard technique of intra-cervical insemination from straws of cryopreserved donor semen, a volume of 0.25 ml of 0.5 ml was inseminated in alternate cycles to determine if the lower volume could be used without a decrease in the conception rate.

	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.
