Artificial insemination of bitches

Umjetno osjemenjivanje je postupak unošenja spermija u spolne organe ženki nakon čega se oplodnja unutar jajovoda odvija prirodnim putem. Prednosti UO pasa su brojne i iz tog razloga interes uzgajivača za UO diljem svijeta brzo raste. Postupak umjetnog osjemenjivanja obuhvaća dobivanje ejakulata od psa, ocjenu ejakulata, određivanje optimalnog vremena za osjemenjivanje kuje i unos spermija u spolne organe kuje. Sjeme koje se koristi za UO može biti svježe, ohlađeno ili duboko smrznuto. Postoje dvije dvije osnovne metode UO, intravaginalno i intrauterino, dok kod intrauterinog postoje dvije tehnike, ne kirurška, upotrebom Norveško/Skandinavskog katetera sa ili bez endoskopa te kirurška, odnosno laparoskopska tehnika. Uspjeh umjetnog osjemenjivanja ovisi o odabiru točnog vremena za osjemenjivanje, upotrebi kvalitetnog sjemena, pravilnom rukovanju sa sjemenom te ispravnom odabiru tehnike UO.Artificial insemination is the procedure of depositing of sperm in the female reproductive organs, after which fertilization naturally takes place inside the fallopian tubes.
