110Artificial Insemination in Farm Animalsindividual cages. Usually, the beginning of the estrus happens from the third and fourth dayafter weaning. However, RTM should be made already at the following day after weaning,at the beginning of the morning and final of the afternoon. This procedure is important,taking into account that some sows can advance the beginning of the estrus, in other words,at the first or second day after weaning.When the females are housed in cages, the teaser is conducted in the corridor of the hangar, sohe has contact with the sow. At this moment, an employee stimulates the sow by pressuringthe back or even mounting on the same one. From the third day from weaning, the femalespresenting no characteristic behavior of estrus should be individually taken to the stall of theteaser. For standardization either in gilts and primiparous and pluriparous, the zero hour ofthe estrus is the moment at which the female presents RTM for the first time.Another procedure used in practice for detection of the estrus is the reflex of tolerance to theman (RTH). This reflex is the result of the man-animal interaction, without the presence of amale. However, the results are various and inconsistent. A study carried out by our workteam (Pinheiro, 2000) showed that 23% sows in estrus do not present RTH. For this study,the estrus was confirmed by RTM, besides the occurrence of ovulation that was confirmedby ultrasonography. The detection of the estrus was accomplished at 8hrs intervals (7:30,15:30 and 23:30). The RTH reflex was accomplished before RTM, as considering that manysows in estrus can present positive RTH after they were previously sensitized by the contactwith male.We also verified that 44% females, which were in estrus, presented very short RTH (lessthan 16 hours). Those considerations were corroborated by DIAS et al. (1999), who found avery varied RTH period. Those researchers observed that 11% animals presented no RTHand 26.5% presented it for a period lower than 16 hours. Also SOEDE (1996) found that 18%animals presented RTH for 16 hours or less and many animals presented a discontinuous orvery short symptomatology. Thus, considering the mentioned aspects, RTH should not beconsidered as an efficient procedure in the estrus detection.3. ConclusionThe artificial intrauterine insemination (IUAI) allows for better use of the ejaculates,compared with the intracervical artificial insemination ICAI). This condition is possible, astaking into account that a lower spermatic concentration can be used in the inseminationdose. The IUAI technique can be used at commercial farms in substitution to ICAI withoutendangering the reproductive efficiency.In spite of the progresses and refinement of the different artificial insemination techniques,the deep intrauterine insemination (IUPAI) is a promising procedure. In this context, thepossibility for using the insemination doses with small volume and reduced spermaticconcentration will optimize the use of the males, as providing economical advantages to thefarms. In addition, the use of the reduced volume and low spermatic concentration inIUPAI will allow progresses in the use of frozen semen.However, the high cost of the pipette for this procedure and the difficulties in execution ofthe technique still represent impediments for its implantation in commercial farms. Theresults still inferior in the reproductive efficiency, when compared with ICAI and IUPAI, areadded to those factors. Thus, it is evident that IUPAI is a technique with promising future tobe used commercially at the farms, since the costs are decreased and the reproductiveefficiency is not endangered.
Artificial Insemination in Swine 111The appropriate procedure of the artificial insemination is not the only factor determiningthe obtainment of desirable results in the reproductive efficiency. Thus, special attentionmust be to factors that can, direct or indirectly, influence the results.4.
