Laparoscopic insemination may sound technical, but it’s one of the most efficient and effective ways to improve your flock’s genetics and productivity. Here’s what you need to know:
What is it?
Laparoscopic insemination is a technique where semen is deposited directly into the uterus using a small incision and specialised equipment, including a endoscope. It’s more accurate than conventional artificial insemination and has higher success rates.
Key Benefits
Wider genetic reach
Up to 100–200 ewes can be inseminated in a single day using the same ram, making it ideal for rapid genetic improvement.
Reduced risk of STDs
No physical mating means there’s no risk of sexually transmitted diseases spreading through the flock.
Higher conception rates
By placing semen directly in the uterus, fertilisation success significantly improves.
Increased chances of twins
Which means more lambs and better returns.
Controlled lambing intervals
More predictable lambing allows for better planning, less labour, and easier management.
Why Farmers Choose It
For modern farmers focused on meat or wool production, laparoscopic insemination offers a strategic way to grow the herd with stronger genetics, reduced disease risks, and better control over breeding cycles — all while saving time and labour.
