Artificial insemination in goats: Biotechnology association of dilution and cooling of semen

Abstract

Of the several available biotechnologies for the enhancement of reproductive management, it is recommended programming and distribution of reproductive cycles and deliveries throughout the year, underpinned by rational use of Artificial Insemination. This biotech, with cooled semen in goats, practical results more viable, both economically and productive, with reproductive rates closer to that obtained by natural service or fresh semen, and superior to those obtained with frozen semen. It is characteristic of goat semen synthesis and secretion of enzymes by the bulbourethral glands, released into the seminal plasma. In light of the deleterious effects, the enzymatic composition of goat semen and extenders are of great importance in the preservation of semen frozen or refrigerated. Combined with other reproductive biotechnologies, artificial insemination is an important option as agent optimization of different systems of goat production, contributing to a better distribution of births throughout the year, reducing or even eliminating the off season milk, meat and breeding animals, slowing down economic barriers and strategy for the sector. The use of any management technique should assess their impact on animal production in terms of biological and financial information. Thus, continuous scientific research and biotechnological innovations expected to agribusiness and social goats are important instruments for sustainable regional development.
