Abstract

Brucellosis Artificial insemination is required to increase the reproduction rate in ruminant breeding. The artificial insemination success rate in sheep only reaches 47.6%, whereas the proposed ideal rate is 70%. One of the factors influencing the artificial insemination success rates in sheep is improper estrus detection, resulting in no fertilization. The present study aimed to determine the effect of different artificial insemination time periods on the pregnancy rates of Sapudi ewes. The research design was based on a completely randomized design. A total of 20 female Sapudi sheep were divided into four treatment groups with five repetitions (for each group). In addition, the observed variables were artificial insemination time in Sapudi ewes. Estrus synchronization in ewes was conducted by injecting PGF2α. The results of the research indicated that ewes subjected to artificial insemination 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours after estrus had a pregnancy rate of 20%, 100%, 60%, and, 60%, respectively. It can be concluded that the time differences in artificial insemination significantly influence the pregnancy rate in Sapudi ewes’.
