ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI)

What’s involved:

  • Artificial Insemination involves the insemination of ewes/does sychronised with exogenous hormones with fresh or frozen semen, using a either laparoscope or cervical AI gun to enable insemination directly into the uterus.

  • ERGEN veterinary teams specialise in laparoscopic and cervical AI in sheep and goats; they are highly experienced and can inseminate large numbers of ewes/does daily, depending on your set up.

  • Up to 150 ewes can be inseminated by one vet per day

  • Fresh semen from one fertile ram/buck can be used to inseminate up to 150 ewes-does/day

  • Conception rates of 65-75% are typical using fresh or frozen semen
