“…Therefore, it should be important to develop strategies to decrease welfare concerns on the use of EEP. In this sense, there is not enough knowledge on the effects of anaesthetic and/or analgesic treatments to EEP, or about the use of alternative techniques for semen collection in small ruminants as the use of transrectal ultrasound to guide the massage of the accessory sex glands (TUMASG) (Santiago‐Moreno et al., ; Ungerfeld et al., , ).…”

Electroejaculation procedures (EEPs) provoke stress; nevertheless, ejaculation produces physiological changes similar as those usually used to measure stress responses. The application of EEP to animals that cannot ejaculate-as ewes-may be useful to discriminate the responses induced by ejaculation from those provoked by EEP. The aim was to determine the stress response to EEP in rams and ewes. The EEPs were applied to 10 rams and 10 ewes during the non-breeding season, and the number of vocalizations, the heart rate, rectal temperature, serum cortisol concentration, biochemical and haematological parameters were measured. Overall, EEP provoked increases in cortisol concentration, glycaemia, rectal temperature and concentration of creatine kinase (all them: p < .0001) as well as relative concentration of granulocytes (p = .003) and absolute granulocyte concentration (p = .0002) in both, rams and ewes. Heart rate, relative concentration of lymphocytes (p = .001), haematocrit (p = .02) and haemoglobin (p = .045) decreased in animals from both genders after EEP. Besides, cortisol (p < .0001), rectal temperature (p = .002) and glycaemia (p = .001) were greater in ewes than rams, and creatine kinase also tended to be greater in ewes than rams (p = .054). On the other hand, the number of animals that vocalized (p = .006), white blood cells (p = .02) and absolute lymphocytes (p = .02) were greater in rams than ewes. The general trends show a similar pattern of stress responses in animals from both genders. Therefore, we concluded that ejaculation does not contribute to the stress response provoked by the EEP. This procedure also provokes muscular damage and probably pain.

“…Semen collection by AV is a preferable method when compared to EE due to these concerns. In addition, after the freezing-thawing processes, sperm quality has been found lower than other collection methods (Freitas-De-Melo, Ungerfeld, Hötzel, Orihuela, & Perez-Clariget, 2017;Ungerfeld et al, 2016). Furthermore, the semen quality obtained with EE differs in terms of its lower spermatological quality, (Santiago-Moreno et al, 2011), higher pH (Giriboni, Lacuesta, & Ungerfeld, 2017;Ungerfeld et al, 2016) and seminal plasma characteristics (Marco-Jimenez, Vicente, & Viudes-de-Castro, 2008).…”

“…Besides, there are many reports revealing that, with AV method, better spermatological parameters can be Boussena et al, 2013;Stafford et al, 1996) and may need the sedation or anaesthesia to decrease this side effects (Abril-Sánchez et al, 2018). Furthermore, the semen quality obtained with EE differs in terms of its lower spermatological quality, (Santiago-Moreno et al, 2011), higher pH (Giriboni, Lacuesta, & Ungerfeld, 2017;Ungerfeld et al, 2016) and seminal plasma characteristics (Marco-Jimenez, Vicente, & Viudes-de-Castro, 2008).

Semen collection by trans‐rectal digital stimulation and insemination campaign in goat

The overall purpose of this study was to describe a method of semen collection via trans-rectal digital massage (TDM) and to carry out a related fertility trial in Angora goat. Sixteen Angora bucks (ranging 1-4 years) and 28 nulliparous does (1-2 years) were used in this study. Semen samples were collected via trans-rectal massage from 85.71% of the bucks in multiple attempts (18/21). The mean values of volume, pH, mass motility, total motility, concentration, viability, abnormal spermatozoa rate and ejaculation time were 0.64 ± 0.09 ml, 6.3 ± 0.21, 2.7 ± 0.34, 58.18 ± 5.1%, 3.68 ± 0.31 × 10 9 /ml, 71.38 ± 7.12%, 18.22 ± 2.48% and 3.4 ± 0.33 min respectively.Oestrus was detected with teaser buck and confirmed by using infrared thermography and ultrasonography (US). The success rate of synchronisation was found as 71.4% (20/28). On Day 21, pregnancy diagnosis was performed trans-rectally with US and the pregnancy rate was determined as 78.57% (11/14). TDM method of semen collection seems to be easily applicable to the buck and it could be a good alternative to collect semen as well as its use in artificial insemination campaign. Thermal monitoring is found to be a valuable tool to monitor the response to hormonal driven ovulatory synchronisation in Angora does during timed artificial insemination.
