a
device used to
collect semen from
animals. it is constructed to be similar to an
actual vagina and consists of a
tube lined with
rubber, surrounded by a
warm water chamber and an outer casing. one
end is left
open for the penis, and the other end
terminates in some sort of collection
tube, which could be as
simple and
inexpensive an object as a
baby bottle. sometimes a
sperm cozy is placed on the collection tube.
the
artificial vagina is filled with warm water by means of a water inlet, which resembles the
cap on an inner tube. the expansion of the warm water
chamber will allow the inside tube environment to become warm and snug. the artificial vagina is designed for animals that require
heat and
pressure to ejaculate, including
bulls,
stallions,
rams, buck
goats, or
rabbits.
