USAGE:
An artificial vagina (AV) is a medical device used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Semen collection: AVs are commonly used to collect semen from animals for artificial insemination, freezing, or analysis. AVs are a practical method that doesn’t alter semen quality compared to natural mating.
- Breeding soundness evaluation: AVs can be used to evaluate breeding soundness by observing sex drive and mating ability.
- Detecting copulation problems: AVs can be used to identify problems that prevent copulation.
