Sheep Artificial Insemination

Extensive Fixed Time AI programs are carried out in sheep. Sheep are synchronised using intra-vaginal sponges before being put up for laparoscopic AI with frozen semen at a fixed time after sponge removal.
Conception rates are approx. 67% using frozen semen.
AI enables breeders to use superior sires and to enable studs to link analysis of their flocks to other studs to increase the reliability of genetic evaluation.
