ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION CLINICS

 

BIO-Genics, LTD offers a two day, on-location, clinic for the instruction of correct caprine artificial insemination technique. This class is basic enough in its format for the new herdsman, and yet offers technical and practical applications for the veterinarian. AI clinics are taught all over the United States "on-location" at individual farms, Universities and club sponsored events. A complete instruction on the Artificial Insemination of goats is what can be expected when participating in a BIO-Genics, LTD clinic.

The clinic is conducted in an open forum format to allow all participants questions to be addressed. In an effort to insure maximum one-on-one training and attention to all attendees, each clinic is limited to ten to fourteen participants depending on the scheduled class size.

Your first day is spent in a classroom environment learning:

     
  • the effects of management, stress and environmental influences on AI success
  • proper feed, care and management of AI candidates and semen donors
  • an overview of semen abnormalities and stress related conditions of cells and their affects on viability
  • basic instruction on the doe's hormonal processes during estrus and the hormonal effects causing the condition of "rut" in the buck
  • basic anatomy of both the female and male caprine reproductive tract and how fertilization occurs
  • the selection of appropriate AI candidates
  • effective record keeping
  • proper storage and thawing techniques of frozen semen
  • available AI equipment, its proper care and suggested use
  • hands on training in the operation and practical applications of AI tools and equipment

The second day all attendees must provide their own A.I. Equipment for use during the class and a doe, in heat, for insemination and effective hands-on-training. During this session, the application of techniques learned in day one of the clinic will be put into action.

Please telephone our office (208) 756-6500 with any questions you may have on hosting a
clinic, or suggestions on bringing your doe into season for optimum fertility during the hands-on portion of the class. AI equipment and semen will be available for purchase on both days of each clinic.
