An improved method, apparatus and kit for artificially inseminating a female bovine including a bellows-like container having an opening associated therewith for receiving a solution therewithin, a nozzle member having one end portion engageable with the opening associated with the bellows-like container, a hollow metal pipette having a closed terminal end portion for insertion into the reproductive organs of a female bovine, and a flexible tube member having one end portion engageable with the terminal end portion of the nozzle member and having its opposite end portion engageable with the proximal end portion of the metal pipette. The flexible tubing connecting the nozzle member with the metal pipette allows the bellows-like container to be elevated to a substantially vertical position prior to evacuating the semen/diluent solution from the bellows-like container through the present apparatus to the reproductive organs of a female bovine during the insemination process.

A bodily fluid transporting unit that includes a container with a syringe housing and a refrigerant pack in the container. The container is covered by a lid and the engagement of the container and the lid results in an air-tight and moisture-tight bodily fluid transporting unit.

The invention encompasses improved catheters comprised of multiple tubular bodies and methods of using them in artificial insemination.

A polypeptide sperm bio-stabiliser FB-sp having the following sequence of amino acids: RPGLPVFSPL is provided; the use of the polypeptide bio-stabiliser for preserving the gametes of animals; a composition having the polypeptide bio-stabiliser; a conventional or alternative method for artificial insemination involving the use of the composition in conjunction with extender means to be injected into the females of animal species for commercial use.

Provided are an antibody for sexing sperms and use thereof, and more particularly, a composition for and a method of sexing sperms by using the antibody, and a method of producing an animal of a particular sex. In the present disclosure, it was confirmed that agglutination of Y chromosome sperms may be induced by treatment of the antibody, thereby easily sorting X chromosome sperms and Y chromosome sperms. Therefore, it is possible to produce a large number of customized animals of a particular sex and to selectively produce livestock of a desired sex, and therefore, it is expected to contribute to planed breeding, breeding improvement, and efficient management.

It refers to an artificial insemination device which comprises a tube and a tip engageable at one end of the tube, the tip being formed by a hollow tubular body with a semi-spherical upper end provided with at least three orifices; the tip internally comprises at least a first frustoconical portion tapering towards the upper end for insertion of a first vane containing biological material to be inseminated, followed by a first annular portion for coupling this vane, a second frustoconical portion tapering toward the upper end, arranged next to the first annular portion for insertion of a second vane containing biological material having a smaller diameter than the first vane, a second annular portion, arranged after the second additional frustoconical portion, for coupling with the second vane smaller than the first one, and a niche in the region of the upper semi-spherical end where the at least three orifices are arranged.
