There is various techniques of artificial insemination, but are not yet applied routinely in sheep. Thecervical insemination is quick and simple. Laparoscopy requires specialized technical and more work. artificialinsemination using simultaneous estrus synchronization provides higher productivity. This study aimed toobserve the pregnancy rate using frozen semen and techniques of different insemination after synchronization ofestrus. The experiment was conducted with thirty-seven animals. All subject to estrus synchronization protocol.Sixty days after insemination all underwent ultrasound for diagnosis of pregnancy. Twenty-five of the thirtysevenof the experiment showed pregnancy. The results demonstrated that cervical AI with frozen semen is agood alternative to using it routinely in sheep.(AU)
