COMPARISON OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION WITH NATURAL MATING TECHNIQUE IN RHESUS MONKEYS, MACACA MULATTA

Efficient artificial insemination (A.I.) is a necessary adjunct to captive breeding of the non-human primate. In addition to overcoming natural mating problems of mate rejection and trauma, A.I. has the advantages of selective breeding for desirable laboratory animal traits and exact knowledge of conception factors important in studying the early reproductive process.

Minimal data on A.I. in the non-human primate are available. Bennett (1967) described the insemination of three squirrel monkeys following HCG-induced ovulation with recovery of fertilized eggs. Van Pelt (1970) recorded intraperitoneal insemination with conception and delivery in three out of eight rhesus monkeys. Dede & Plentl (1966) inseminated for 8 mid-cycle days with a pregnancy rate of 13 % with induced ovulation and 12 % for presumed spontaneous ovulation. These rates equalled those of natural mating.
