TCI has been proven to result in higher pregnancy rates and larger litter sizes than traditional vaginal AI and is therefore the insemination method widely recommended by reproductive specialists. When using frozen semen, the superority of TCI over vaginal AI is vast and is therefore a considered to be a necessity. Here at Vet Repro, our TCI equipment is the most up-to-date available on the market, which not only helps optimise our success rate with TCI, but permits us to perform a comprehensive assessment of the internal vaginal structures and cervix during the procedure. Therefore, any potential problems that may contribute to fertility or birthing issues can be identified early.

The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and is well tolerated by most bitches. If your bitch is nervous or restless, we can use some short-acting sedation to calm her down prior to the procedure. We always analyse the semen immediately before insemination to ensure we are happy with it and this is included in the TCI price.
