Definitions

  • the invention relates to an at least two-part Inseminationsbesteck for the artificial insemination of livestock, especially pigs, comprising an insemination catheter with a catheter shaft consisting of a plastic tube with a thickening at the distal end, and a counterpart thereto, namely a Spermatube with a discharge spout, to Admission of the sperm to be applied.
  • the insemination catheter has a distal end, which is inserted into the vagina of the animal and a proximal end where the sperm tube is attached.
  • the usual insemination catheter consists of a about 50 cm long plastic tube with an outer diameter of 7 mm and an inner diameter of 5 mm, which has at its distal tip a tuned to the anatomy of the pig thickened head, in particular a foam body.
  • the tubes are usually tubes made of a flexible plastic, in particular of low density polyethylene, with a filling volume of the order of up to 100 ml.
  • the tube and the catheter are coupled by inserting into the rear, proximal end of the tube in situ the sperm tube is inserted after the tip of the tulip has been severed, and the contents of the tube are applied through the catheter.
  • an insemination cutlery is to be created, which can be produced with less effort and facilitates the retention of the sperm tube at the proximal end of the catheter.
  • This is achieved, starting from an Inseminationsbesteck with an internal thread in the catheter shaft, characterized in that the dispensing spout of the tube is originally smooth outer surface and is deformable by screwing into the internal thread of the catheter shaft to form an external thread.
  • the thread of the catheter shaft generated by itself when screwing the dispensing spout on this a complementary elastic deformation, which is a sufficiently tight contact with the thread of the catheter shaft Consequence, to prevent seepage of sperm fluid.
  • a suitable material comparison here is polypropylene / polyethylene.
  • the polyethylene as a material for the tube is sufficiently elastic to conform to the threads, and is also semi-submissive, well workable, and, for example, by a heat impulse method, an infrared method or easily closed by ultrasonic welding.
  • polypropylene is harder and is also bendable with good kink resistance. In itself, hard PVC would come into question, but this has a poor kink resistance.
  • the thread can, depending on the shaft inner diameter z. Example, a standard M6 thread, with a pitch in the order of 1 mm and a thread depth in the order of 0.6 mm.
  • the catheter shaft may be cut 10 to 20 mm into the catheter shaft, provided that the length of the spout is 28 mm.
  • the internal thread length should not exceed the length of the dispensing spout, as beyond the mouth of a smooth inner catheter wall is preferable.
  • the thread is cut by means of a metal mandrel with threading combs, with a mandrel diameter of 5 mm and a distance of 1 mm between the combs.
  • the resulting material chips are removed by unscrewing the metal bolt again. The process is easy to automate, which is advantageous for carrying out the invention.
  • an insemination catheter 1 which consists of a catheter shaft 2 and a molded body 3 seated at the distal tip thereof is inserted into the vagina 4 of the pig as far as the cervix 5 on the basis of a sectional view of the pig.
  • the catheter shaft consists of a tube about 50 cm long made of polypropylene with an outer diameter of 7 mm, a wall thickness of 1 mm and an inner diameter of 5 mm.
  • the sperm to be administered are brought into a Spermatube 9.
  • the Spermatuben 9 each consist of a container part 10 and a discharge spout 11.
  • the entire Spermatube 9 has a length of 172 mm.
  • the dispensing spout 11 is 28 mm long and slightly conical, having an outer diameter of 5 mm at its base and an outer diameter of 3 mm at its tip.
  • the discharge spout 11 is closed at the front at the top.
  • a hammer-shaped widening 13 closes towards the front ( Fig. 2 ), which serves as a stacking aid when stacking the initially empty tubes by preventing the conical grommets are inserted into each other during stacking and then can only be difficult to separate.
  • the spout 11, which indeed serves to dispense the tube contents, is hollow inside, while the closure body 13 is solid.
  • the parts 10, 11 and 13 together constitute a one-piece flexible plastic injection-molded part, a blow-molded element or a low-density polyethylene element produced by a combined injection-blown process.
  • Fig. 2 breaks or cuts the Besamer before Besamungsvorgang the Tüllenspitze with the widening 13 from, as symbolized by a pair of scissors.
  • an internal thread 15, namely a pointed thread, is cut into the proximal end 14 of the catheter shaft 2.
  • the internal thread has an axial length of the order of 10 to 15 mm and is corresponding to the Inner diameter M6 thread, with a thread crest diameter of practically 5 mm.
  • the dispensing spout 11 is first inserted as far as the stop and then further screwed in, wherein the soft spout material is displaced by the threads and forms by elastic deformation in the tube proximal half of the spout 11 a temporary counter thread, through which the maintenance of Spermatube 9 on insemination catheter. 1 is ensured in a sufficient manner. It has been found that even with a hit with the pig's tail, the so-coupled tube 9 is not knocked out of the catheter 1.
  • Thread standard M6 has proven to be very effective for the special pig insemination kit. However, it does not represent the only possible embodiment. Depending on the pipe diameter, the wall thickness and the materials, but also in the described dimensioning and deviating threaded dimensions, such as non-metric threads and other thread pitches can lead to a sufficient fixation.
