IntroductionArtificial insemination (AI) is the keys to the efficient transfer of genetical knowledge fromrams to ewes and to ensure proper productive traits of theirs. The efficient insemination ofhigh-quality semen is very important in an artificial insemination of ewe. Artificialinsemination is also part of the biotechnological studies. The insemination process itselfmay, in fact, cause of poor fertility or reduce of frozen semen quality.Insemination process is regulated by a complex interplay of inseminator, semen, and genitaltract structure of ewe. Although there is general agreement that cervix is of critical importancein the initiation and improvement of semen in mammals during insemination, the role ofcervical canal in the regulation of frozen sperm transport in the ewes is stil problematic.Because of the size and shape of the external os and the tortuous structure of the cervicalcanal, intrauterine insemination of ewes generally carries out with frozen sperm.Transcervical AI is applied using specially designed inseminating equipment andmanipulation of the cervix using forceps. The number of reports in which transcervicaldeposition of semen has been achieved is relatively low and there are concerns about thepotential trauma involved. The role of cervix in the transport of frozen sperm in the ewe isnot entirely clear. Determination of the causes for the generally low fertility obtainedfollowing cervical deposition of frozen semen is still an important subject for AI procedurefor achieving acceptable pregnancy rates in ewes.A previous work observed that oxytocin treatment induced cervical dilation and decreasedthe difficulty of passing a catheter through the cervix and into the uterus. It decreases infertility have been associated with cervical manipulation.For a long time, the standard procedure with fresh semen when inseminating ewes hasbeen to deposit the semen in the external os of the cervical canal. However, recently severalgroups have reported differences in pregnancy rates when ewes were bred with artificialinsemination supported by air pomp, oxytocin, transcervical, etc.There are many methods of artificial insemination of sheep. Specialization is concentratingor limiting one’s focus to part of the whole methods of artificial insemination.Studies are guiding to the acquisition of new practice knowledge and skills. Artificialinsemination is a powerful tool that provides common genetic information and deep insightinto the insemination process that is at the heart of every embryo formation.
