Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the semen collection of boars.

After the onset of ejaculation, the grip strip placed around the boar penis can be clamped in a clamping device without interrupting the application of pressure so that the required pressure is then exerted by the clamped grip strip and the holding or pressure exertion by the ablation technician is no longer necessary. With the device according to the invention, complete ejaculates of good hygienic quality can be obtained from all mating boars.
  • the gripping strip according to the invention is preferably made of a flexible, compressible material, so as to obtain a pressure close to the pressure exerted by the natural hand. Further, a rough, non-slip surface is preferred for the grip strip so that the spiral tip of the boar penis can be securely fixed to the grip strip.
