CaniPlus AI, Culture Medium for Thawing Semen and for Artificial Insemination

🐕 Using shipped semen for breeding is super common, but sometimes the semen quality or motility may be compromised. CaniPlus AI helps improve sperm motility before performing artificial insemination, ensuring better results.

Key Features:

• 🧬 Motility enhancing ingredients to boost sperm performance.
• 🧪 Ideal for all AI procedures, especially when using poor quality or low volume semen.
• 🚫 Animal protein-free formula.
• 💊 Contains antibiotic to protect the sample.
• 💧 20mL liquid contents for easy use.

🌡️ Next Generation Canine Extenders
Developed by Minitube, CaniPlus AI is 100% animal protein-free and includes an additive that protects sperm cells during chilled storage and shipping. It prevents temperature-related damage, oxidative stress, and neutralizes harmful metabolites. CaniPlus Chill ST (short term) and CaniPlus Chill LT (long term) both benefit from this advanced technology.

⏳ Shelf Life:
All canine extenders have a shelf life of 24 months when stored at +4°C (standard refrigeration).

⚙️ Motility Retention:
These extenders maintain 70% of initial sperm motility during storage and transport.

🐕‍🦺 Why Breeders Choose Artificial Insemination

Using artificial insemination (AI) offers several advantages to dog breeders, making it an increasingly popular choice in the breeding community. Here are some key reasons why a dog breeder should consider using artificial insemination:

🌍 Expanded Breeding Possibilities:
AI allows breeders to access a wider pool of potential mates for their dogs. They can breed with studs located in different regions or even in other countries, giving them access to superior genetics and rare bloodlines that may not be locally available.

🧬 Preservation of Genetics:
AI enables breeders to preserve the genetic material of exceptional dogs, even after they have passed away or are no longer available for natural breeding. This allows breeders to continue valuable lines and prevent the loss of important genetic traits.

🎯 Controlled Breeding Process:
Artificial insemination offers more control over the breeding process. Breeders can precisely time the insemination to increase the chances of conception, which is particularly beneficial for dogs with irregular heat cycles.

🚛 Minimized Travel Stress:
With AI, there is no need to transport the female dog to the stud's location, which can be stressful for both the dog and the breeder. Instead, the semen can be shipped or delivered to the breeder's location.

🛡️ Reduced Risk of Disease Transmission:
Natural breeding can carry the risk of transmitting certain diseases and infections between dogs. AI minimizes this risk as there is no direct contact between the dogs during mating.

🐾 Increased Safety for Valuable Dogs:
For valuable or high-demand dogs, natural breeding may pose some risks, such as injuries during mating. AI eliminates the risk of physical harm during mating.

⏳ Efficiency and Time-Saving:
Artificial insemination is a quick and efficient process, allowing breeders to handle multiple breedings in a short period. It saves time, effort, and resources in managing the breeding program.

❄️ Easier to Handle Semen Storage:
AI allows breeders to store and transport semen more easily than live dogs, especially when dealing with frozen semen. This facilitates long-term semen storage and enables strategic breeding decisions.

😌 Favorable for Shy or Inexperienced Dogs:
Some dogs may not be suitable for natural breeding due to shyness or inexperience. AI provides a non-invasive alternative, ensuring successful breeding without unnecessary stress.

📈 Improved Breeding Success Rates:
AI offers better control over various factors influencing breeding success, leading to higher conception rates and improved litter sizes.

Collect Semen:
💧 Use the semen collection kit to gather a minimum of 5mL raw semen or a total extended volume of 10mL.
⚪ Collect the sperm-rich fraction and discard the clear prostatic fluid.
⏳ Allow semen to liquefy for 10-15 minutes or centrifuge under low speeds.

Mix with Extender:
🌡️ Combine semen with an extender like CaniPlus AI, avoiding water or rubber products that can damage sperm cells.

Optional: Perform Semen Analysis:
🔬 Analyze semen for concentration of raw semen.

Prepare the Syringe:
💉 Depress the syringe, insert into the semen sample, and gently draw it up. Use all plastic semen-safe syringes.

Lubricate the AI Tube:
🧴 Lightly apply HR semen-safe lubricant jelly to the AI tube, avoiding the openings to prevent obstruction.

Attach the AI Tube:
🔗 Secure the AI tube to the syringe.

Secure the Animal:
🐕 Elevate the female’s hind end for the procedure.

Insert the AI Tube:
📏 Gently insert the tube, angling upwards and then horizontally. If resistance is felt, back out slightly and reposition.

Deposit the Semen:
💨 Gently depress the syringe and deposit the semen. To release the residual semen, reattach the syringe and use air to expel the remainder.

Mimic a Tie:
🤲 Simulate a natural tie using a finger or artificial penis.

Allow Semen to Travel:
⌛ Let the semen travel into the uterus for about 10 minutes, elevating the female slightly to aid movement.
