Adoption of scientifically recommended artificial insemination practices by paravets: a depiction of current scenario of four states in India
Tropical Animal Health and Production(2021)
摘要
The present investigation was done to assess the different practices followed by the AI technicians (paravets) while performing artificial insemination (AI). A total of 160 paravets were selected for the study having equal representation from 4 different states of India (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Odisha). Questionnaire and telephonic survey were used for collecting data. Several practices followed by paravets were assessed under three sub-groups, viz., practices followed prior to, during, and post-artificial insemination. In as many as seven practices, viz., gathering pre-AI information, storage of semen straw, time of performing AI, thawing container, wiping of semen straw, cutting of semen straw, and record keeping, the adoption gap was found to be nil. Maximum adoption gap (30.60%) was seen in “adopting basic sanitary measures,” whereas about 13% of adoption gap was found in the case of “monitoring of heat post calving” followed by “checking of heat prior to AI” (8.00%). Hence, along with provision of necessary measures for water bath, apron, and gumboots by State Department of Animal Husbandry (SDAH), the paravets should be made aware about the importance of basic sanitary measures. Crystoscope availability should also be ensured as it is easy to use by paravets and farmers for heat detection.
