Question | Answer |
---|---|
artificial vagina | inner rubber lining filled with water for temperature and pressure to stimulate glans penis for ejaculation |
artificial vagina requirements | arousal by dummy animal first, conscious male, not frightened by humans, lubrication |
electroejaculation | stimulates accessory sex glands and pelvic urethra, parallel electrodes minimize unwanted muscle contractions, no mount required |
hand glove technique | mounting device, manual stimulation through pressure, filtration device removes opalescent plug |
gand cone technique | teaser animal, manual stimulation through pressure |
Bull | artificial vagina and electroejaculation |
Stallion | artificial vagina |
Boar | hand glove technique and artificial vagina |
Ram | artificial vagina and electroejaculation |
Rooster | hand technique |
Dog | hand cone technique |
Cat | artificial vagina and electroejaculation |
semen extension and preservation | sperm is evaluated for volume, motility, morphology, and concentration |
volume | sperm rich fraction minus gel fraction |
motility | >70% motile for freezing |
morphology | < 30% abnormal |
concentration | # sperm/mL evaluated by optical density |
preservation | extend, package, then AI or extend, package and freeze, thaw and AI |
methods of semen preservation | freeze in liquid nitrogen or stored in cool temperatures |
functions of extenders | increase number of insemination doses, preservation |
short term extenders | 5-18 *C, 20-100 mL syringe for horse or pig |
long term extenders | -196*C in liquid nitrogen, 0.25-0.5 mL polyvinyl straw for cattle, sheep, horse, and human |
components: buffers | prevents marked changes in pH, isotonic solution |
buffer examples | sodium citrate and sodium phosphate |
components: lipids | maintain sperm cell membrane integrity, protects against cold shock |
lipid examples | egg yolk and milk |
components: energy substrates | maintain sperm viability |
energy substrate examples | glucose and fructose |
components: cryoprotectant | protect cells against cold damage and prevent ice crystal formation |
cryoprotectant example | glycerol |
components: antibiotics | prevent bacterial growth |
antibiotic examples | penicillin, liquamycin, and streptomycin |
sex sorting method | X chromosome uptakes more dye due to greater DNA content, produces greater light when excited by light emission, sperm is sorted by flow cytometry and charges based on DNA content |
sex sorting limitations | cost, sperm fertility slightly decreased, slow separation |
function of Y chromosome | forms testes, seminiferous tubules, and leydig cells, sex determining region |
