TRANS CERVICAL AI

• Non- surgical technique
• It can be done with the female standing or in a breeding cradle.
• The first step is to insert a lubricated speculum into the vagina.
• A light source is fixed to the speculum so that the operator can visualize the opening of the cervix,
• Surgical forceps are used to tie off the tissue at the opening of the cervix.
• The endoscope is inserted into the opening of the cervix.
• The bent tip of the instrument helps to maneuver through the first ring.
• The operator looks through the eyepieces to navigate the scope through the rings of the cervix.
• Once the final cervical ring is penetrated, semen is deposited in the body of uterus.

Higher doses of sperm (atleast 100 million sperm cells) are required for trans-cervical AI.
