How is artificial insemination performed in cows? Be sure to handle them gently during the procedure

In modern agricultural breeding technology, many people have heard of artificial insemination, but few have seen it, especially in large livestock such as cows!

After fully understanding the cow's estrus period, choose a sunny and auspicious day, and give the cow a bath with 34-35 degree warm water. Besides cleaning and maintaining hygiene, the warm water can also soothe the cow's mood, because every step that follows is extremely painful!

At the same time, prepare the bull's semen, along with a dedicated long straw rod, also called an AI gun. The specific steps are omitted in this article, please use your imagination.

Use good-quality, lint-free toilet paper to wipe the cow's private parts clean, especially the feces hanging on the anus, which must be cleaned thoroughly, but do not give an enema.

Whether or not you are left-handed, in this step you must insert your entire left arm into the cow's anus until you can touch the cervix through the cow's large intestine, while your right hand steadily holds the AI gun and slowly inserts it through the private parts until it can touch your left hand through the cervix and large intestine.

Once both hands have reached their designated positions, the left hand firmly grips the cervix through the large intestine, while the right hand smoothly pushes the AI gun through the cervix to reach the uterus. Here one concern needs to be dispelled: the large intestine inside is actually very spacious and full of elastic tension, and there is actually ample space for the left hand to grip the cervix through the intestinal wall. However, it is relatively difficult for the right hand to maneuver the AI gun through the narrow and highly folded cervix, and one careless move can injure the cow.

After the AI gun reaches the uterus, the left hand still needs to press against the uterine wall with the fingers, while the right hand slowly pushes all of the bull's semen in. Finally, after once again checking that the semen has reached the designated position correctly, slowly withdraw the left hand and pull out the AI tube. Due to the relaxation of the sphincter, if it is a cow with an upset stomach, at the moment you withdraw your left hand, you may very likely be sprayed all over with cow dung.

Finally, imagine a 3D diagram of gripping the cervix through the large intestine, and I hope all farming friends can observe it more thoroughly.
