Animal semen collector

Technical field

The present invention relates to the technical field of animal breeding, in particular

to an animal semen collector.

Background art

At present, semen freezing technology has been widely used in the animal husbandry

industry. The semen of high-quality male animals is collected, diluted, frozen and

stored, which can be used by larger groups of female animals in a wider area to

obtain more excellent offspring and expand a utilization rate thereof, thereby

increase the number of mating females and improve the breeding efficiency of

excellent males. In semen freezing technology, collecting animal semen is the most

basic, but it is also the process where the most waste of male animal's fresh semen is

lost. Most of the existing semen collection methods adopt the pseudo-vaginal

method. The semen obtained is collected in a glass semen collection cup. Since the

temperature of fresh semen is relatively high but the amount of semen is small,

semen is collected from the pseudo-vaginal to the semen collection cup. In this

process, the heat is lost quickly, and if the temperature in this process is too high or

too low the decrease of fresh essence activity and vitality will occur. For example, the

fresh semen of the pigs just collected is 37-380 C. When the semen is collected in

spring and autumn when the air is not high, the temperature of the semen has

dropped to 30-35 0 C when processed. Some semen die or lose vitality in the process,

which directly affect the quality of frozen semen prepared later, and it is more

serious in winter. At present, the commonly used method is to transfer the semen

collection cup into warm water at 35-38 0 C after collection, but it does not solve the

temperature control problem during the collection process. In some places, hot

water is added between the outer wall of the fake vagina and the silicone inner lining.

However, the hot water is also in the process of continuous cooling. It may take time

and time to control the breeding pigs to collect semen, which is not easy to determine. It is not easy to control the false vagina temperature with hot water, the operation thereof is inconvenient and the temperature is not stable. If the water temperature is higher but the ejaculation time of the breeding pig is faster, it is easy to kill the semen.
