Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of animal semen collection equipment, in particular to a semen collection device for underwater beluga whale model. BACKGROUND

[0002] Daily observation found that male Yangtze finless porpoises will have frequent genital exposure, genital rubbing and other sexual behaviors during the breeding season from April to August every year. Male Yangtze finless porpoises will frequently seek appropriate protruding positions in the feeding pool to perform simulated mating behaviors, thereby ejaculating. However, since Yangtze finless porpoises are aquatic mammals, the male genital organs are hidden in the abdomen, so it is not possible to catch them on shore for forced semen collection. At the same time, most cetaceans raised in artificial environments can only complete semen collection by stimulating the genital organs in a supine position on the water surface. However, this training needs to be performed in an extremely trusting and relaxed state of the animals, and animals that have undergone this training are more likely to exhibit self-erection and anal intercourse behaviors, and even cause self-erection rubbing against the wall to damage the genital organs and early ejaculation in natural reproduction. Currently, stable and regular semen collection training for Yangtze finless porpoises has not been achieved worldwide, and therefore there is an urgent need for a semen collection device for underwater beluga whales, which relies on the self-ejaculation behavior of the beluga whales underwater to collect the corresponding semen and other important genetic resources, thereby laying a solid foundation for the conservation of Yangtze finless porpoises.

[0037] The collection bottle 21 is made of transparent high-pressure polyethylene material, which is non-toxic and harmless and will not affect the sperm of Yangtze finless porpoise; the bottom is designed with a large-angle arc to reduce the bending point hiding the semen and affecting the pouring of the semen; and the waterproof scale mark is engraved on the bottle body to facilitate observation of the semen collection amount.

[0038] In one embodiment, the middle part of the lower end of the collection bin 22 is inwardly recessed and upwardly curved to form a connecting section with a through hole, thereby forming a hook-shaped semen storage groove 26 on both sides of the connecting section to prevent the backflow of the semen; the connecting section is detachably provided with a connecting tube 25, and the guide tube 23 is detachably connected with the connecting tube 25.

[0039] Preferably, the collection bin 22 is a two-section structure with the upper and lower parts being detachably connected, and the upper and lower parts can be connected by screwing, so that the collection bin 22 can be disassembled and opened to completely expose the internal structure and facilitate cleaning and sterilization.

[0040] In one embodiment, the top end of the collection bin 22 is outwardly convex to form a smooth connecting port that can be threadedly connected with the collection bottle 21, thereby facilitating the pouring of the collected semen from the collection bin 22 into the collection bottle 21.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 The inner walls of the collection bin 22 and the guide tube 23 are provided with silica gel pads 4, and the temperature control module 3 is arranged in the silica gel pads 4, which includes an electric heating wire 31 and a second temperature controller 41 electrically connected therewith, and the electric heating wire 31 is uniformly arranged in the silica gel pads 4; since the collection bin 22 is a two-section structure, the silica gel pads 4 inside are also correspondingly divided into two sections, and the temperature control module 3 is arranged in each of the two sections of the silica gel pads 4 to ensure the stability of temperature control.

[0042] The inner wall of the collection bin 22 is covered with a soft silica gel pad 4, which can ensure a soft touch when the male Yangtze finless porpoise reproductive organ contacts, and prevent the reproductive organ from being injured when moving in the collection bin 22; at the same time, the silica gel material is safe and non-toxic, and does not absorb water, which can ensure the short-term preservation of the semen in the collection bin 22 and facilitate subsequent collection.

[0043] Preferably, the temperature in the collection chamber 22 is controlled at 35°C. The second temperature controller 41 is embedded in the silica gel pad 4 and set at a suitable temperature to maintain the activity of the semen in the collection chamber 22 and to protect the collected semen, ensuring that the semen can be transported for a short distance in a short time and enhancing the heat preservation function, so that the semen can maintain a constant temperature in vitro after being collected, avoiding the damage to the sperm caused by cold shock.

[0044] In one embodiment, the inner side of the silica gel pad 4 in the guide tube 23 is provided in a wavy structure to simulate the structure of the female Yangtze finless porpoise reproductive tract, so that the male Yangtze finless porpoise genital organ can contact a soft and tight rubbing touch, preventing the genital organ from being injured and enhancing the pressure stimulation of the genital organ, which is beneficial to the ejaculation of the male Yangtze finless porpoise.

[0047] Specifically, the center of the silica gel sleeve 5 can be extruded to ensure the smooth passage of the male Yangtze finless porpoise genital organ, and the close fitting and waterproof nature of the silica gel sleeve 5 can prevent water from entering. The silica gel sleeve 5 extending out of the waterproof conduit 24 can be bound with the elastic band 6 according to actual needs, so as to further reduce the gap of the silica gel sleeve 5, enhance the waterproof performance, and increase the pressure stimulation when the genital organ enters, thereby increasing the possibility of ejaculation of the genital organ.

[0048] In addition, the silica gel sleeve 5 can also be designed as two closely adjacent semi-cylinders, which can also allow the male Yangtze finless porpoise genital organ to pass through smoothly.

[0049] In one embodiment, the lower end of the waterproof conduit 24 is paved with a waterproof sleeve film 7. The waterproof sleeve film 7 is sprayed with a polyacrylate waterproof spray, which has good waterproof effect before the male Yangtze finless porpoise genital organ pierces the waterproof sleeve film 7. In combination with the waterproof effect of the silica gel sleeve 5 and the elastic band 6, the waterproof sleeve film 7 can effectively prevent water from entering the semen collector 2, ensuring the waterproof performance of the semen collector 2.

[0050] The waterproof sleeve film 7 is disposable and needs to be replaced with a new one before each use. Exemplarily, the waterproof sleeve film is a light and thin waterproof material such as silicone oil paper or aluminum (tin) foil paper, which has the characteristics of fragility and poor tensile resistance.

[0051] The waterproof conduit 24 is sleeved on the guide pipe 23, and the waterproof sleeve film 7 is arranged on the end of the waterproof conduit 24.

[0052] Preferably, the collection bin 22, the connecting pipe 25, the guide pipe 23 and the waterproof conduit 24 are all made of stainless steel material, and are connected by threads. The stainless steel material can ensure the rigidity and stability of the structure, and the hollow structure of each structure can isolate the external temperature and maintain the constant temperature in the bin.

[0053] Before use, the staff unscrews the threaded interfaces of each part, thoroughly washes each part, dries in a sterile environment, turns on the ultraviolet light, disinfects and sterilizes each part by ultraviolet rays, starts the temperature control module 3 in the collection bin 22 and the guide pipe 23, and sets the required heating temperature. Then, the staff wears sterile gloves, injects safe and sterile water-soluble lubricant into the guide pipe 23, binds the elastic band 6 on the silicone sleeve 5 and adjusts the tightness, puts the waterproof sleeve film 7 on the end of the waterproof conduit, and connects each part of the semen collector 2 in sequence to complete the installation of the device.

[0054] The semen collector 2 is put into water to check whether there is water leakage and bubbling phenomenon, to ensure the correctness of the installation and the overall sealing of the semen collector 2. The female finless porpoise model 1 is washed and disinfected in water, and the semen collector 2 is put into and fixed on the opening on the back of the female finless porpoise model 1, so that the waterproof conduit 24 is embedded in the artificial vagina 14. The temperature control system in the female finless porpoise model 1 is turned on, and the required heating temperature is set.

[0055] After the reading of the display screen 33 is stable at the required heating temperature, the finless porpoise is guided to extend the genital and insert into the artificial vagina 14 to reach the inside of the device, and the Yangtze finless porpoise sexual behavior is observed. After the male Yangtze finless porpoise genital completes the ejaculation behavior in the device, the semen is stored in the hook-shaped semen storage groove 26 of the collection bin 22.

[0056] Finally, the semen collector 2 is taken out from the female finless porpoise model 1, and is inverted by 180° vertically, the collection bottle 21 is placed at the bottom, and the semen in the hook-shaped semen storage groove 26 flows into the collection bottle 21 along the inner wall of the silicone pad 4, so that the underwater semen collection of the male Yangtze finless porpoise is completed.

[0057] While embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the application is not limited to the details of the embodiments described, since numerous changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
