Although semen collection and artificial insemination in cats have been first described 50 years ago (Sojka, Jennings, & Hamner, 1970), assisted reproduction procedures are not a routine in veterinary practice (Zambelli, Cunto, Prati, & Merlo, 2007). In recent years, the number of pet cats has considerably increased, reaching 13 millions in French households (www.i-cad.fr) which lead to increased demand from cat breeders for assisted reproduction (Johnson, 2018).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
