ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to apparatus for artificial insemination of animals, and particularly carnivores such as dogs, foxes, wolves and even smaller animals such as mink.
The apparatus comprises a flexible probe having apertures at each end, in which is mounted slidingly a semen reservoir tube, which is also flexible, a projecting end of the semen tube presenting a head and an orifice behind said head through which the semen is ejected from the tube, the other end of the semen tube being coupled with a sheath having a removable abutment limiting the stroke of the sheath and tube in the probe, a piston extending through the sheath to engage in the tube for actuation to eject semen therefrom, and balloons extending externally round the probe for inflation once the probe is disposed in the vaginal cavity of the animal by compressed air blown through a separate conduit in the probe from that receiving the semen tube.
