ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI)

摘要

A method for increasing the fertility of mammals is provided, wherein the mammal is inseminated with semen which before, during or after insemination is mixed with at least one agent which stimulates the immune system of the female. The mixing of the semen with the immune system stimulating agent may be performed by premixing the components prior to artificially inseminating the mammal or may be effected by introducing the agent into the vagina and/or uterus of the mammal before or after artificial or natural insemination. A method for treating semen by mixing it with such an agent and a semen diluent containing such an agent is also provided.
