Abstract

A device for artificially inseminating a mammal with sperm from a male breeding animal is disclosed, the sperm being introduced through the vagina of the animal into or onto the uterus of the animal which is to be inseminated. The device comprises a tube which can be moved on the uterus through the vagina of the animal which is to be inseminated, and a heatable chamber for accommodating a thin tube containing the sperm, and a drive for removing the sperm from the thin tube and the uterus-sided opening of the tube. The device comprises a mechanism enabling the thin tube to be moved out from the chamber into the tube.
