Parabasal
Intermediate
Bacteria
18
Q

If bred within a day of preparing a vaginal smear, what may be seen?

19
Q

Cytologic values for Estrus

A

90% superficial
<5% parabasal and intermediate
bacteria

20
Q

Cytologic values for Diestrus

A

Superficial cells decrease by 20%

Intermediate cells increase

21
Q

Cytologic values for Anestrus

22
Q

Semen collection technique (6 steps)

A
  1. Grasp prepuce, and push back to expose the tip of penis
  2. Slide collection cone over the penis and push prepuce down to expose the bulbis glandis
  3. Lock fingers in a ring around penis and hold the bulbis glandis in fist
  4. Apply pressure with forward and backward movement (male may thrust on his own)
  5. Watch for semen flow into collection tube
  6. Continue to apply pressure until fluid is crystal clear flows into collection tube
23
Q

Collection method where a female in estrus expedites semen collection

A

Teaser Female

24
Q

Collection method to obtain semen from cattle, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, and cats
Male mounts the female and penis is diverted into AV

A

Artificial vagina

25
Q

This collection method is used to collect semen from dogs, pigs, chickens, and turkeys
Apply pressure and massage the penis, when animal is aroused a director cone is attached to a collection tube and slipped over the penis

A

Digital manipulation

26
Q

This collection method to obtain semen involves low-voltage pulses of current to the pelvic nerves to have an ejaculatory response

A

Electroejaculation

27
Q
