Description

DEVICE FOR ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION OF ANIMALS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a device for artificial insemination of animals in which the natural covering of the female is carried out by pre-mounting the male on her.

The device is made up of an arc of considerable weight that is located and is held on the female's body, said arc having appropriate means of fastening to the female's body and means of holding the corresponding semen container. which is intended to be applied to the female.

It is an object of the invention to provide a device that not only facilitates artificial insemination, but also makes it easy to detect whether the female is in heat or not. The device is mainly intended for the artificial insemination of sows, without ruling out its application in other types of animals such as cows, mares, sheep, etc., where the arch and the corresponding means of restraint will have the measures in each case. appropriate.

STATE OF THE ART

As is known, artificial insemination on females is carried out by introducing a cannula into the female's own vulva, a cannula that is connected to a reservoir containing the dose of semen to be applied, so that this reservoir must be kept on hand by the operator throughout the duration of the insemination, which implies a series of problems and inconveniences such as the operator being permanently next to the female during the duration of the insemination, as well as the tiredness It originates as a consequence of maintaining during that time the container containing the semen dose.

or o ro ao, a ee ec ar s em em es es en ceo, ra n ose e bristles, is performed by mounting the caregiver on the back of the female, to see if she is receptive or not, which regardless of the inconveniences and inconveniences for the caretaker, sometimes it is not effective, since the animal feels suspicious, not because it is not in heat but because it is suspicious of people and in this sense, even when in heat, sometimes it does not consent to the mon ta.

The applicant is not aware of any device similar to the invention.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The device that is recommended has been conceived to solve the aforementioned problems, since on the one hand it allows to check if the female is in heat or not, and also allows artificial insemination to be carried out, admitting that the female during said insemination can be free.

More specifically, the device of the invention is based on the use of an arc of considerable weight, with its lateral branches slightly converging downwards to adapt to the lateral parts of the animal, and with the ends slightly diverging to enable its positioning on the area appropriate of said animal, simulating to some extent the body load of the male.

Therefore, and due to the nature of the animal, when the female is in heat she lets the male mount her, so she will also allow herself to put the aforementioned bow when in heat.

Now, in the event that the female is not in heat, she will not allow herself to put the device on, thus constituting a simple and effective heat detector.

In correspondence with the external and central part of the arch, at least one grip handle has been provided, and collaterally to it are rings in which the ends of a tape are fixed, which will be located in correspondence with the upper part of the posterior extremities of the animal, It is ecr, a nve ea vuva, perm en o, me ane e compemeno e an open ring, the proper holding of the container containing the dose of semen. In this way, during insemination the female can be completely free and the operator or caregiver can dedicate himself to other tasks, since the container with the semen is held by the device itself and the corresponding cannula applied, as is normal and conventional, on the female's vulva.

It is worth noting the fact that insemination is carried out easily, simply and efficiently by this device, with high prolificacy and proliferation, however, reducing the repetition of heat in the female. The device is, as has also been said, an effective heat detector, imitating with great efficiency the mounting of the male when it is available and is admitted by the female.

It is also worth noting the fact that the semen dose is not forced at any time, since the container containing it is conveniently located at the level of the vulva and with the appropriate orientation so that the introduction is carried out efficiently.

Finally, say that the device is easy to use, carrying out the insemination of females by their own will or instinct, reducing the operator's working time, since the females inseminate themselves, being able to inseminate several at the same time.

Other variants are seen in the rest of the memory.

DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included.

MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the invention is briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

As can be seen in a gures e spos vo ea nvenc n, it is consumed from an arc (1), of considerable weight, with a bridge-like configuration in which a practically semicircular and superior sector is determined (2 ) and a pair of lateral branches (3), slightly converging towards their free ends, so that before they reach these lateral arms (3) they bend at an obtuse angle, causing short extreme and divergent sections (3 ') .

In a preferred embodiment, the arch (1) will be metallic.

On the arched and upper section (2) of the arch (1), there is provided at least one hand grip (4) and at least two rings (5) in which the ends of a tape (6) are fixed. of considerable length, forming a bottom step (7) with a hook (8).

The device thus constituted is intended to be arranged on the upper area of the body of a female (not shown), so that as a consequence of the special configuration of the arch (1) it adapts perfectly to the upper and lateral part of the body of the female, leaving his jeto in it, in such a way that by virtue of its remarkable weight it imitates the load corresponding to the mounting of a male, with the special peculiarity that the belt (6) is placed with its lateral branches on the upper and lateral parts of the hind limbs of the female, and the lower passage (7) where the hook (8) is located at the level of the female's own vulva, with the special feature that said hook (8) It constitutes a means of holding the container (not shown) containing the dose of semen to be applied to the female, through the corresponding and conventional cannula that is inserted into the vulva and connects it to the container. of the semen dose.

By means of this device, if the female is in heat, she admits that it is placed on it, since a female in heat allows the male to mount it, so it will also allow the device to be put on, since it to some extent simulates the load body of the male, since the arch (1) is of considerable weight.

In addition, in the event that the female is not in heat, then the device will not be allowed to put on, quickly checking the state of non-heat of the female.

Claims (1)

1- Device for artificial insemination of animals, which is mainly intended for sows, without ruling out its application in other types of females such as cows, mares, sheep, and others, taking in each case the appropriate measures according to the size of the animal or female, characterized by the fact that it is constituted by means of an arch of considerable weight apt to be placed in a mounted manner on the female, complemented by a tape whose ends are fixed in respective rings provided at two distant points and close to the central part and upper part of the arch itself, tape that in opposition to the fixing ends defines a passage for a ring that has a hook to hold the corresponding container containing the dose of semen to be applied, the tape remaining on the upper part and lateral of the hind limbs of the female, and the hook at the level of the female's own vulva. 2- Device for artificial insemination of animals, according to claim 1, characterized in that the arch whose lateral branches project downwards in a convergent way, to project, in proximity to its ends, in a divergent way, determining a configuration that by itself adapts and holds on the top and sides of the female to which it is applied. 3- Device for artificial insemination of animals, according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that a manual grip handle has been provided in correspondence with the central and upper area of the arch, while on either side of it there have been provided some rings in which the ends of the tape that is located with its passage at the height of the female's vulva are fixed.
