Device for collection of animal semen adaptable to an artificial vagina

摘要

The device (1) for collection of animal semen comprises a rigid (2) which is adaptable to an artificial vagina (V), and to which filtration means (3) and a collection receptacle (4) are fixed, the filtration means (3) being positioned inside the collection receptacle (4). The filtration means form a filtration pouch, preferably conical, that make it possible to hold back the “tapioca” and to allow the liquid fractions of the semen, including the “rich fraction” containing the spermatozoa, to pass into the collection receptacle (4).

主权项

1. A device for filtration of animal semen received from an artificial vagina using a filter, the device adapted for collection of the animal semen in a collection pouch, the filter having a height defined from a closed first end to an open second end, the device comprising:
a rigid frame that comprises: an adaptation ring with a coupling member operable for fixedly attaching the rigid frame to the artificial vagina; and an armature that extends from the adaptation ring, the armature includes a first lateral arm, a second lateral arm opposed to the first lateral arm, and a base arm extending from the first lateral arm to the second lateral arm, and wherein the filter is fixedly attached at least to the base lateral arm; wherein the filter is fixedly attached at least to the armature such that the shape of the filter is maintained over an entirety of the height of the filter, and wherein the rigid frame is operable to fixedly attach the collection pouch such that the filter is positioned inside the collection pouch, wherein the collection pouch includes a peripheral pre-cutout line positioned in proximity to the adaptation ring, configured for separation of the collection pouch into two parts.
