Temperature control for animal sperm - features a cooling chamber and heating chamber for sperm ampoules

摘要

Controlling the temperature of animal sperm, especially pigs sperm for artificial insemination, where the cooled sperm ampoules at a temperature of 28 to 30 deg. are brought into a first temperature control chamber and then cooled for 6 to 8 hours to a temperature of 15 deg.C (+-) 1 deg.C. The sperm ampoules, during the transport 10 to 15 minutes before the insemination, are changed from the first chamber into a second chamber where they are so warmed to the insemination temperature of 30 deg.C that the local over-heating does not exceed the value of 35 deg.C.
