Common Mistakes During Artificial Insemination and How to Avoid Them (continuous study)

Even experienced farmers can make small errors that reduce insemination success rates.
Understanding and preventing these mistakes is key to improving results.
1. Poor Hygiene
Failing to clean the vulva before inserting the catheter can introduce bacteria, causing infections
and reduced fertility. Always sanitize hands and equipment.
2. Incorrect Catheter Insertion
Inserting the catheter too shallow or too deep can lead to back flow of semen or damage. Ensure it
locks gently at the cervix before introducing the inner rod.
3. Mishandling Semen
Semen must be stored at the correct temperature (17–18°C) and gently mixed before use. Avoid exposing it to sunlight or shaking it roughly.
4. Wrong Timing
Inseminating too early or too late in the heat cycle greatly affects conception rates. Always perform
the process within 10–15 minutes after heat confirmation.
5. Lack of Records
Failing to track insemination data makes it hard to evaluate success and schedule second
insemination. Recording information helps in herd management and fertility analysis.
