摘要
The speed with which sperm can be identified in the tip of the uterine horns and the oviducts following coitus and artificial insemination in the mare suggests that there is a mechanism for passive transportation of sperm in this species. Studies using electromyography, scintigraphy and M-mode ultrasonography demonstrate that both coitus and artificial insemination increase uterine contractile activity. Uterine contractions following coitus and artificial insemination move sperm in a circularmotion within the uterus. The contractile effect of artificial insemination, however, appears to be dependant upon the volume of the inseminate.
