Own stock besamer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artificial insemination of a cow

An own stock inseminator (EBB) is a livestock owner in legally regulated animal breeding who - after successfully completing a corresponding course - is authorized to carry out artificial insemination in their own animal stock .

Legal basis

In Germany, the Animal Breeding Act (TierZG) regulates the breeding of domestic cattle , domestic pigs , domestic sheep , domestic goats , domestic horses and houselands . Artificial insemination is only allowed to a limited group of people for these species. These include veterinarians , specialist farmers for insemination and insemination officers ( insemination officers and inseminators in-house ). In contrast to the other groups mentioned, the own stock insider is limited to its own animal stock. In addition, he must comply with all regulations of the TierZG.

The inseminator in his own stock receives the animal semen from his responsible insemination station . Records are to be made of the inseminations carried out. These must contain information on the inseminated animal, if this in turn is a breeding animal.

education

In Germany, training to become a self-contained insider is regulated in the ordinance on courses under the Animal Breeding Act. Training centers at which courses on artificial insemination are carried out require recognition by the competent authority under the respective state law. The prerequisite for attending a short course for own stock insiders is 16 years of age. The (minimum) scope and content of the courses are binding.

Contents of the courses for own stock insiders are (at least):

The TierZG requires an examination to be carried out at the end of the course. After its existence, the insemination permit for own inseminators is usually limited to one species .

distribution

In pig breeding, self-insemination is widespread. In 2005 90% of all breeding sows in Germany received artificial insemination, 98% of which were inseminated in-house. The advantage lies in the low hygiene risk, because external persons do not have to enter the yard, and the low costs.

In cattle, the artificial insemination is much more difficult than in pigs due to the structure of the sexual organs. Nonetheless, the proportion of self-stocked people is increasing. However, the success depends on the exercise, which is why in the larger average stocks in East Germany the proportion of self-owned stock insurers is higher than in the western federal states. In 2005, around 92% of all cattle (4.6 million female cattle) in Germany were artificially inseminated, 14.5% of which were inseminated on their own.

In horse breeding, on the other hand, very little use is made of own insemination in Germany, and almost not at all in Austria.
