  • Publication number: 20120136204
    Abstract: An artificial insemination device is formed by a semen-filled tube or tube at one end of a pipette with a syringe attached to the other end. A fitted insemination point is fitted to the free end of the semen-filled straw. The semen-filled tube is attached with the adjustable openings in the pipette and the fitted point, in such a way that the semen-filled tube of different diameters can be forced to adjust to the adjustable opening. The pipette-tube-point unit is inserted in the vagina of the animal using a speculum until the tip with one or more folds, one or more openings and a spherical sealing mechanism, enters the cervix and forms a seal between the tip and cervix. The syringe, which contains the diluent, is pressed to force the semen and the diluent fluid toward at least one ejection outlet in the tip and out toward the uterus of the animal. Optimum quantities of semen and diluent fluid may be provided for different animals.

  • Patent number: 6071231
    Abstract: An artificial insemination device is formed by attaching a semen filled straw or tube to one end of a pipette to which a syringe is attached at the other end. An anchorable tip is attached to the other end of the semen filled tube. The semen filled tube is attached by forming tapered bores in the pipette and anchorable tip so that semen filled tubes of various diameters can be press fit into the tapered bores. The pipette-tube-tip assembly is inserted into the animal's vagina using a speculum until the tip enters the cervix, and a seal is formed between the tip and cervix by inflating an attached balloon. The syringe, which contains a diluent fluid, is pushed to force semen and diluent fluid out through ejection port(s) in the tip into the animal's uterus. Optimum amounts of semen and diluent fluid can be delivered to various sized animals.
