Semen freezing and diluting method capable of automatically adding liquid and adjusting pre-freezing height

Abstract

The invention relates to a semen freezing and diluting method capable of automatically adding liquid and adjusting the pre-freezing height, which comprises the following steps: putting fresh semen into a 50ml beaker, preheating the beaker on a constant-temperature water bath shaking table of an automatic liquid adding and diluting device, and setting the rotating speed of the shaking table to be 10-220rpm; controlling the dripping speed of the diluent to be 10-200 micro-liters per second; and during liquid nitrogen gas-phase pre-freezing, determining the height of a pre-freezing device according to animal varieties, and finally putting the pre-freezing device into liquid nitrogen for storage. According to the invention, diluent can be automatically added, standardized operation is realized, interference of personal manual operation is eliminated, and the liquid nitrogen gas phase pre-freezing height is adjusted to different values according to different animals. The device used in themethod is simple in structure, the device can be used after simple transformation by using existing instruments in a laboratory, and therefore the selling price of frozen semen cannot be affected, thequality of the frozen semen is remarkably improved, the lambing rate can be increased by 8%-9% in a production test, and the production benefits of livestock farms are remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal reproduction and breeding, in particular to a semen freeze-dilution method capable of automatically adding liquid and adjusting the pre-freezing height. Background technique [0002] In modern animal husbandry, most cattle and pigs are raised with frozen semen for artificial insemination to impregnate female animals. Bulls are rarely raised in farms. The frozen semen must be diluted and made into thin tubes. One thin tube for each female animal. Male animals can impregnate many female animals. Semen cryopreservation technology is of great significance for the protection of genetic resources and the promotion of artificial insemination technology. The quality of frozen semen is related to the efficiency of pregnancy and production of female animals and the strength of offspring, and is a key factor affecting the production efficiency of modern animal husbandry. Usually, the semen freezing process includes se...

Problems solved by technology

The speed of adding diluent and the mixing speed of semen and diluent have a key influence on the quality of frozen semen, but for a long time, researchers and daily production personnel have not paid enough attention to this link, and semen dilution is basically manual, relying on experience The operation, diluent adding speed and the speed of mixing semen and diluent cannot be standardized, and the dilution effect of different operators varies greatly, which is not uniform and standard, which is one of the important reasons for the quality difference of different batches of frozen semen

[0004] In addition, during the liquid nitrogen gas phase prefreezing operation, the current prefreezing device is a metal pedestal, and the thin tube is placed on the metal pedestal and then put into the liquid nitrogen gas phase for prefreezing. However, for a long time, researchers and daily production personnel have not I didn’t realize that the temperature of the liquid nitrogen gas phase varies with different heights. Different species of animals require different temperatures for pre-freezing semen. If no matter what animal’s semen is pre-frozen, only one metal pedestal, regardless of the height of the frozen semen tube from the liquid nitrogen surface, this is not scientific, and it has not fully tapped the potential to improve the quality of frozen semen
