Transcervical Insemination for Dogs at Subzero Reproduction
Transcervical Insemination for dogs (TCI) is a non-invasive breeding method. Performed by placing the semen directly into the female dog’s uterus, this approach in canine breeding has been refined since its introduction 25 years ago, leveraging advanced equipment and technology that offers a safe and stress-free breeding method.
Understanding Transcervical Insemination (TCI)
Evolution of TCI Techniques
TCI was first adapted for use in dogs from earlier methods used in foxes and other large animals. Over the years, enhancements in endoscopic technology have improved this procedure, enabling trained experts to precisely manipulate the cervix, significantly reduce catheterization time and increasing success rates.
Equipment and Techniques
Our facility uses state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment, including the latest ureteroscopes and custom-designed catheters, to perform TCI. These tools allow our skilled veterinarians to navigate the canine reproductive tract accurately and deposit semen directly into the uterus with minimal discomfort to the animal.
The Advantages of TCI
- Non-Invasive: Transcervical insemination for dogs does not require surgical incisions, reducing the risk of infection and increasing the speed of recovery
- No Need for Anesthesia: The procedure doesn’t typically need sedation removing the risks associated with anesthesia
- Less Stressful: Most dogs tolerate the procedure well without any need for any restraint, making it a less stressful experience compared to other methods of breeding
- Improved Fertility Rates: TCI is particularly effective in cases using frozen semen, overcoming challenges like cervical closure at the end of estrus
- Optimal Timing: The procedure allows for precise timing relative to ovulation, crucial for maximizing the chances of successful fertilization, especially when using frozen semen
