OverviewEquine artificial vagina designed for semen collection used in equine artificial insemination programs. Collection is performed on a phantom fitted with the artificial vagina. Immediately after collection, semen may be used for fresh insemination or processed and placed into a preservation medium for refrigerated storage or for freezing (cryopreservation).
Objectives and Advantages of this technique- Improve mare fertility through better management of estrous cycles
- Prevent transmission of venereal diseases between stallions and mares
- Avoid mating-related injuries: kicks, bites, bruising and vaginal perforations
- Inseminate multiple mares from a single ejaculate
- Allow insemination of mares geographically distant from the stallion, expanding choice of sires
