鸵鸟输精方法初探

Study of Artificial Insemination in Ostrich

采用手臂引导法给５只鸵鸟进行阴道内输精,共输精１６次,并在２周内收蛋１７枚,其中有受精蛋８枚,受精率为５０%,经孵化获得雏鸟７只。试验初步认为,对母鸵鸟进行训练后,用此方法进行输精是可行的;对鸵鸟这样大型的鸟类,进行阴道浅部输精效果较好。

Five ostriches were inseminated into vagina using arm-leading method for16 times.Seventeen eggs were collected within 14 days, of which 8 were fertilizedand 7 were halched.This study showed that insemination is feasible for trained os-triches and good results could be obtained when the birds were inseminated at shal-low position of vagina.
