Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for harvesting animal semen.
  • FR-A-1 015 041 describes an artificial vagina system for horses and donkeys comprising a body formed by a sleeve rigid with a filling hole and in which a folded latex cylinder is mounted and fixed at the ends of the sleeve, forming a pocket for receiving hot water.
  • FR-A-1 360 774 describes an apparatus for harvesting animal sperm which has a plastic chamber split in two parts by a window which delimits a rear compartment for collecting sperm and a front compartment of rectangular section filled with foam rubber elements enclosed in a polymer film covered with polymer film organic silicon-based lubricant.
  • the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by creating a device for harvesting animal semen in particular for boars which while being of a simple realization either increased efficiency and reduced size compared to to conventional devices.
  • a device for harvesting of animal semen particularly in boars comprising a artificial body or vagina with a reception duct and tightening the animal's penis, and an organ flow to a container for seed, characterized in that the body is made of flexible foam material whose penis receiving and tightening duct is tapered shape and has a flared or chamfered entry for guiding the animal's penis, taper and length said conduit being adapted to the age or species of the animal whose seed is to be harvested.
  • Such a system eliminates the use of vagina to double wall with hot water.
  • the seed collection device shown in Fig. 1 has a tubular body 1 in the form of sleeve made of flexible foam material such as non-toxic polyurethane, polyethylene or silicone.
  • the body 1 has an inlet chamfer 2 intended to guide the animal's penis towards inside the device.
  • the chamfer 2 is extended by a conduit 3 tapered which tapers towards the end of the body 1 opposite the chamfer 2 and which opens into a chamber 4 cylindrical in shape bounded by a more walled skirt thin 5 for receiving a tube 6 for collecting the seed.
  • the taper and the length of the tapered duct 3 are of dimensions which vary according to the age of the animals or the species from which the seed is to be harvested.
  • foam sleeve 1 is extensible provides moderate tightening on the penis especially for the boar.
  • the length of the conduit 3 is 10 cm for the boar and 5 cm for the rabbit. These dimensions may vary depending on the age of the males.
  • this conduit has a diameter of approximately 25 mm at the base and about 12 mm at its narrow end.
  • the foam of the artificial vagina 1 compresses to facilitate on the one hand the fixing of the penis of the boar and on the other hand the triggering of ejaculation in excellent conditions without disappointing the sensations of boar so often observed with known methods of harvest by hand or gloved.
  • the body 1 or foam vagina is insulated and can therefore be preheated using a hair dryer. he thus retains all the heat for several minutes thanks to the density of the insulating foam.
  • the artificial body or vagina 1 is of moderate outside diameter and can therefore be maintained easily with one hand.
  • the operator can therefore perfectly control the progression of the animal's penis.
  • the boar freezes without moving and due to the pressure exerted by the expandable foam wall of the body 1, the operator no longer need to hold the penis firmly between its gloved fingers for long minutes and can therefore devote to the preparation and control of the harvests of several boars in the same room harvest adapted to receive six to eight males in huts individual.
  • the seed collection device shown in Fig.2 also has a tubular body 10 in foam, generally cylindrical, with an inlet flared or chamfer 11, guiding the animal's penis and of a frustoconical duct 12 for receiving the penis and evacuation of the ejaculate.
  • the body 10 ends with a frustoconical point 13 engaged in a tube 14 for discharging the semen to a vase of harvest 15.
  • the discharge tube 14 is slidably mounted on the cylindrical outer surface of the body 11.
  • an orifice 16 for the expulsion of the "tapioca” or “gel” which is produced during ejaculation, while allowing the seed to flow to the vase 15 without forming a plug which would cause reflux of the seed.
  • Prominences such as annular ribs 17 came molding with the outer surface body to secure the device on a support or its holding in hand.
  • Such ribs are also provided on the body of the device described with reference to Fig. 1.
  • the body in foam 10 can be placed directly above a harvest vessel which then receives the seed without interposition an intermediate flow member.
  • the discharge tube 14 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 can also constitute a means practice of receiving a harvest tube such as the tube 6 of the embodiment of Fig.1.
  • the harvesting tube can be graduated.
  • the device according to the invention being very light and small, it can be fixed inside a mannequin, on a mobile support, to support weak movements of the boar during the harvest but also to support a thermos bottle containing a hot Bake with a filter.
  • the seed collection device that comes to be described makes it possible to considerably increase the number of boars treated at the same time per person.
