Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of pipette do I use for artificial insemination of pigs?

Preferably use disposable foam or latex pipettes, depending on your working method and the type of sow. They should allow for smooth insertion and be hygienic.

How long can you store sperm after delivery?

When stored correctly in a climate-controlled cabinet and using suitable diluents, semen is stable for 3 to 5 days. Pay attention to temperature and light conditions.

Do I need special gloves for insemination?

Yes, use long shoulder gloves that are sterilely packaged. These ensure hygienic and comfortable work.

Can I reuse insemination equipment?

No, most devices such as pipettes and extensions are for single use only. Reuse increases the risk of infection and reduced fertility.

How do I know when a sow has reached the best time for insemination?

Watch for signs of estrus, such as vulvar swelling, restlessness, and the standing reflex. If necessary, use an AI planner or check with a boar for optimal timing.
