There has been increased interest recently in the conservation of wild felids and preservation of valuable cat breeds. Assisted reproduction, by means of artificial insemination (AI), is an important tool for developing breeding programs for conservation. Optimal use of AI requires accurate data on semen conservation protocols and its long-term storage/survival. In this paper, semen cooling and freezing processes are described, with special emphasis on the results obtained in experiments performed in the domestic cat. Conception rates after AI in wild and domestic cats are also reported.
最近,人们对野生猫科动物的保护和珍贵猫品种的保存越来越感兴趣。通过人工授精(AI)进行辅助生殖是制定保护育种计划的重要工具。AI的最佳应用需要有关精液保存方案及其长期储存/存活的准确数据。本文描述了精液冷却和冷冻过程,特别强调了在家猫身上进行的实验所获得的结果。还报告了野生猫和家猫人工授精后的受孕率。
