Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry equipment, in particular to a novel device for thawing frozen semen of breeding cattle. Background Art
[0002] Thawing frozen semen is a critical step that can significantly impact semen quality. Improper handling of this process can result in a significant loss of sperm during the thawing process, leading to a decrease in conception rates, increased calving intervals, and increased breeding costs, resulting in unnecessary losses. Therefore, proper thawing of frozen semen is crucial for cattle farms.
[0003] In the prior art, after searching, it was found that a Chinese patent disclosed "a semen thawing device for cattle breeding", and its application number is "202322990663.X". The above patent mainly includes an equipment base, a display screen, an insulation barrel wall, a tank cover, a heating ring and a lifting assembly, etc. The front side of the equipment base is connected to the display screen, the upper side of the equipment base is connected to the insulation barrel wall, the upper part of the insulation barrel wall is clamped with the tank cover, the bottom of the equipment base is connected to the heating ring, the heating ring is electrically connected to the display screen, and the upper middle part of the equipment base is connected to the lifting assembly. Although the above utility model drives the placement table to move upward by controlling the telescopic end of the waterproof telescopic rod, drives the test tube to move upward by the placement table, and then drives the test tube to gather by the gathering ring, it can achieve the effect of facilitating the simultaneous removal of multiple test tubes and ensuring the quality of semen. However, simply placing the test tube in water for heating and thawing without stirring can result in uneven temperature distribution within the water. This can also cause uneven heating of the frozen semen particles within the test tube, making it difficult for them to dissolve evenly during the thawing process, resulting in low thawing efficiency. This can also cause localized overheating or cooling of the frozen semen within the test tube during the thawing process, affecting semen vitality and quality. Therefore, the present invention provides a novel apparatus for thawing frozen semen of breeding cattle to address the problems outlined in the aforementioned background technology.
