Artificial insemination has changed the small ruminant industry and has allowed increased genetic improvement, better control of reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases, dissemination of valuable genetics and preservation of the genetics of endangered breeds. Recent developments in this technology have focused on preserving the vitality/fertilizing capability of fresh and frozen spermatozoa by improving the composition of extenders, and by changing cooling/freezing protocols. The other main issue is the development of minimal invasive techniques for proper deposition of fresh or frozen semen. The paper discusses state of the art in methodology and technology currently used in small ruminant artificial insemination, as well as future perspectives after their wide application in these animal species.
人工授精改变了小反刍动物产业，并允许增加遗传改良、更好地控制繁殖和性传播疾病、传播有价值的遗传物质和保护濒危品种的遗传物质。这项技术的最新发展集中在通过改进稀释液的成分和改变冷却/冷冻方案来提高新鲜和冷冻精子的活力/受精能力。另一个主要问题是开发适当的新鲜或冷冻精液沉积的微创技术。本文讨论了目前在小反刍动物人工授精中使用的方法和技术的最新进展，以及在这些动物物种中广泛应用后的未来展望。
