Radiant Technology as Temperature Regulator in the Artificial Insemination Process

Overview

Radiant Technology as Temperature Regulator in the Artificial Insemination Process Lauren Beckman Abstract Last year my sister developed a shirt using radiant technology that held the temperature of the semen constant during the artificial insemination process. The material used as an insulator was made of scrap radiant technology. Both my sister and I have looked at a similar product used in the AI process but none contain the radiant material she chose to use last year in her experiment. For my project, I plan to test the radiant technology materials against three other materials used to keep semen at constant temperature. My hypothesis is that by using a radiant material to insulate the thawed sperm during the artificial insemination process. The importance of this information is to provide better conception rates during the AI process by hopefully eliminating multiple AI sessions and having successful AI attempts on the first try, which ultimately will save both time and money. I think that the local everyday farmer as well as larger producers would use this information in the future, if my hypothesis is correct, giving the animals a better conception rate. Once I prove that the radiant material gives the best results, I want to test the shirt/technology during the actual AI process and look at the conception rates to show that they will be improved over the traditional method.
