Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Post-cervical artificial insemination (PCAI) is recommended for gilts, showing reduced semen backflow and shorter procedure times compared to cervical artificial insemination (CAI). Reproductive outcomes were similar between the two artificial insemination techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Animal Science
  • Reproductive Biology
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Artificial insemination (AI) is crucial for efficient swine reproduction.
  • Optimizing AI techniques in gilts can improve reproductive efficiency and reduce costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare cervical artificial insemination (CAI) and post-cervical artificial insemination (PCAI) in gilts.
  • Evaluate differences in incidence rates, reproductive variables, and procedure duration.

Main Methods:

  • 644 gilts were randomly assigned to PCAI (n=320) or CAI (n=324) groups.
  • A total of 957 (CAI) and 958 (PCAI) artificial inseminations were performed.
  • Incidences of probe passage difficulty, backflow, metritis, bleeding, pregnancy, farrowing rates, and prolificacy were recorded.

Main Results:

  • PCAI showed a lower semen backflow frequency (4.3%) compared to CAI (8.2%).
  • The average AI duration was significantly shorter for PCAI (2.34 min) than CAI (4.77 min).
  • Pregnancy diagnosis, farrowing rates, and prolificacy were similar across CAI, PCAI, and mixed groups.

Conclusions:

  • Post-cervical artificial insemination (PCAI) is a viable and efficient alternative to CAI in gilts.
  • PCAI reduces semen backflow and shortens insemination time without compromising reproductive outcomes.
