Cervical insemination using speculum method

CERVICAL INSEMINATION

Using speculum method

  • Older method- done with the help of vaginal speculum after cleaning the external genitalia of the cow.

With the aid of light, a long insemination pipette containing 0.1-0.2ml of diluted semen is introduced and deposited into the external os of the cervix.

Disadvantages

  • It is fairly satisfactory but requires frequent cleaning and disinfection of the speculum or use of a different speculum on each cow.
  • When large number of cows are inseminated the sterilization of speculum sometimes will become problem.
  • Chances of injury and infection of vagina and cervix will lower the fertility.
  • In some cows it is difficult to introduce the semen into cervical lumen and it is deposited in external os which will lower the conception rate.
