Technique of Artificial Insemination for Racing Pigeons

Something that we were having an in depth conversation about tonight, my mate showed me this. I find things like this fascinating.
What do you think??

Could this be the way forward, the PIPA Frozen Sperm Bank

Im sure the bigger studs use these methods

seen that months ago bit sad real haha but im sure some alrdy do it

It's a sure fire way of testing the fertility of yer birds.
I'll take a kit next time I visit a stud.
Can ya imagine it, hmm.

This has been use by Jos Thone for quite a number of years, it is even shown on one of the films which Ronnie Bigwood did

It showed the hen being artificialy inseminated (not sure but according to it it was a 90+% pass rate)

think the film was cracked it 2

I don't read books much or watch films.
But I think this this the way, we are going to be heading next breeding season.
It seems a good pass rate, plus it may take away a lot of the guesswork, especially with the older cocks.
I might actually, try and get hold of that and have a watch of it.
I'd like to see Ron again, hope he puts in an appearance at Blackpool.
Its been a while.

i dont see how its got any more % pass rate than single penning pairs, as we know a pair pf pigeons do not mate only once to produce eggs, even if this method is a good % i would emagine you would need to inject more than once.....???

not too keen on it to be honest.

I'll try owt once

too much information gary............

yes seems a bit of a strange thing but when a pigeon costs over a hundred grand then theyre going to do this to as many hens as they can
