Equine Artificial Insemination (582 words)
Insemination per vagina does mean that probably the most important part of the process is the preparation, during which the perineal area is cleansed as for surgery, most commonly using an iodine preparation such as "Betadine".
The mare is preferably secured in breeding stocks, and her tail is wrapped and deflected to one side where it should remain throughout the whole insemination process to avoid contamination of the scrubbed area.
Using a sterile lubricated gloved arm (the glove having been reversed to ensure maximum cleanliness), the inseminator will introduce his arm into the mare's vagina, palpate the cervix, which should be found on the bottom (ventral) surface of the head-ward (cranial) portion of the vagina.
