“…However, it is necessary to adjust the technique to achieve higher pregnancy rates. Laparoscopy has been successfully used for insemination in deer (Asher et al., ; Dradjat, ), goats (Kulaksiz & Daskin, ; Vallet, Baril, Leboeuf, & Perin, ) and sheep (Gourley & Riese, ; Hiwasa, Kohno, Togari, Okabe, & Fukui, ), generating pregnancy rates over 70% with fresh semen and 50% using frozen semen.
