Effect of intrauterine infusion of sperm antigens on gilt fertility
1989
Abstract A total of 149 maiden gilts (Landrace × Yorkshire) were assigned at random to one of three treatment groups at the onset of puberty. During the first and second estrus, two groups of gilts were inseminated with either 50 ml attenuated semen (n = 50) or physiological saline (n = 50). The control gilts (n = 49) remained untreated. At the third estrus, all gilts were inseminated with fresh extended semen. Intrauterine infusion with attenuated semen prior to breeding significantly increased conception rate of gilts compared with controls (82.0% vs 63.3%; P
