This collection of items facilitates the introduction of semen into a female canine’s reproductive tract without natural mating. It typically includes a syringe, collection cones, insemination pipettes or catheters, lubricant, and sometimes gloves. These components are designed to assist breeders in managing breeding programs and overcoming potential obstacles to natural breeding.
The practice supported by such instruments offers breeders significant advantages in terms of genetic diversity and accessibility to desirable bloodlines across geographical distances. It allows for the preservation and propagation of valuable genetic traits, avoiding the risks associated with transporting animals for breeding purposes. Historically, this method has broadened the scope of canine breeding, contributing to improvements in breed characteristics and health.
