“…As described by Ziapour et al. (), semen was collected by use of a bovine artificial vagina (AV, IMV, France) with an inner plastic liner. Males were presented to a sexually receptive female, which was restrained in sternal recumbency.…”

“…Semen was collected once weekly from each bull (n = 7) for 5 successive weeks (a total of 35 ejaculates) during the rutting season (December to April).

Males were presented to a sexually receptive female, which was restrained in sternal recumbency.…”

The cryopreserved camel semen is often associated with poor quality and fertility. This study aimed to improve the dromedary frozen semen quality by comparing the efficiency of four cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) on sperm freezability. Semen samples were collected from seven male Maghrabi camels, diluted with Shotor diluent supplemented with glycerol (Sh-G), dimethyl formamide (DMF, Sh-DF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sh-DS) or ethylene glycol (EG, Sh-EG), all at 6% final concentration, and the samples were subjected to cryopreservation. The results revealed the superiority of Sh-DF over Sh-G and Sh-DS in terms of post-thaw motility (55.83 ± 2.20 vs. 47.50 ± 4.33 and 45.00 ± 2.89%, respectively), sperm membrane (49.00 ± 0.58, 39.33 ± 3.33 and 42.67 ± 1.45%, respectively) and acrosomal integrities (53.00 ± 0.58, 57.33 ± 0.88 and 52.33 ± 1.45%, respectively). Sh-EG group showed the lowest post-thaw motility, plasma membrane and acrosome integrities (12.50 ± 1.44, 22.67 ± 1.45 and 30.67 ± 1.45, respectively). In conclusion, the protocols of dromedary camel semen cryopreservation could be enhanced using 6% DMF as a cryoprotectant agent.

“…The techniques used include artificial vagina (AV), camel dummy, or electro-ejaculation. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages, resulting in a wide range of variability in terms of sperm harvesting (El-Hassanein, 2003;Musa et al, 1993;Vyas et al, 1998;Ziapour et al, 2014).…”

“…Although different AV types or modifications are currently in use, no exhaustive research into the most suitable one has been performed. For instance, El-Badry et al (2017) and Ziapour et al (2014) used a 30 cm long AV with a 5 cm inner diameter and a foam cervix imitation (according to indications by Bravo et al, 2000), whereas El-Bahrawy, in 2010, used the same kind of AV without the cervix imitation. Since it is believed that sperm motility could be affected by contact with the AV rubber or with the AV collection funnel, all the above authors applied a plastic liner inside the AV cylinder (El-Badry et al, 2017;El-Bahrawy, 2010;Ziapour et al, 2014).…”

Skidmore et al (2013) reported that the disposable inner liner was not well accepted by the bulls, and Cholakkal et al, (2016) reported that the use thereof was unsuitable because the collected ejaculates 'stick' to the liner, were 'frothy' and of low volume.…”

Mating behaviour and semen parameters in dromedary camel bulls (Camelus dromedarius): a comparison between two types of artificial vagina

et al. 2018

Semen collection in the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) is performed using different types of artificial vagina (AV) (long, short, with cervix imitation, with plastic or silicone inner liner) either held by an operator or fitted inside a camel dummy. However, systematic studies about the acceptance of such modifications by bulls, and their effects on sperm parameters, have yet to be investigated. This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that a silicone inner liner inserted into a standard cow AV could cause discomfort to camel bulls during mating, but at the same time could improve the quality of the ejaculates collected. Five bulls underwent semen collection sessions, with (n=3) and without (n=3) the silicone liner fitted in the AV, for a total of 30 semen collection sessions. A standard methodology and data-recording system were used for evaluating mating behavior, in addition to evaluation of semen parameters. There was no difference between an AV with or without silicone inner liner used during our standardized semen collection procedure. The use of such an AV modification hence still remains debatable, until further studies are able to identify any potential benefits of using this or other AV types or modifications. Such studies, however, should be performed by applying a standardized semen collection methodology and a proper evaluation of mating behaviour and semen parameters.
