LAI for Small Ruminants

Laparoscopic Artificial Insemination (LAI) for Sheep & Goats

Laparoscopic Artificial Insemination (LAI) is delivered through a coordinated program with Reproduction Specialty Group (RSG), combining specialized veterinary expertise with Trans Ova Genetics’ proven reproductive systems.

What is Laparoscopic Artificial Insemination?
Laparoscopic Artificial Insemination (LAI) is an advanced reproductive technique that allows for precise placement of semen directly into the uterus, improving conception rates compared to traditional methods.

This approach helps producers make more efficient use of elite genetics while increasing the likelihood of successful pregnancies.

How LAI Services Are Delivered
LAI services are delivered through a coordinated partnership between RSG and Trans Ova Genetics.

  • RSG leads all on-farm procedures, including LAI services, animal handling, and scheduling
  • Trans Ova Genetics supports the program through its laboratory systems, reproductive expertise, and integrated technology platform

By combining field service with reproductive support, this model creates a more streamlined experience and helps ensure every step is aligned around producer success.

Why Producers Use LAI
LAI is often used to:

  • Increase pregnancy rates when using frozen or limited semen
  • Maximize the value of elite sires
  • Improve genetic consistency within a flock or herd
  • Accelerate genetic progress in a controlled, repeatable way

When paired with a coordinated service and lab program, LAI becomes a reliable tool for building a more predictable breeding program.
