Semen o/ wild animals studied
Artificial insemination explored
A concerned world may one day
increase the offspring of endangered
species by artificially breeding the
animals in their native habitat.
Work which would make possible
such an endeavor is being con
ducted by the Institute of compara
tive Medicine, a three-year-old
cooperative program of Texas A&M
University and Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston.
Institute Associate Director Dr.
Stephen W. J. Seager and col
leagues are collecting, freezing and
studying semen of captive wild ani
mals, many of which are on the
endangered species list. Their ef
forts already have produced a
number of wolf cubs.
Seager’s research explores the
best methods for artificial insemina
tion while closely examining the
semen, some of which has never
been seen by human eyes.
Semen is collected by elec
troejaculation after the animals are
sedated. It is then diluted with egg
yolk, lactose and glycerin and frozen
in liquid nitrogen at minus 320 de
grees Fahrenheit.
Seager envisions the project de
veloping into an international
semen bank from whcih zoos and
wildlife parks around the world can
draw to enhance their populations of
rare animals that are not breeding
naturally for one reason or another.

“These are sometimes totally

be very emphatic in this area. I be
lieve the breeding of all animals
should be by natural methods. Arti
ficial means of breeding should be
applied only where natural methods
have failed.
“With total destruction of the
natural habitat, many people think
the only way these animals are going
to survive is in zoos and wild animal
parks,” he said.
Seager admits this is a false hope,
but nurturing these rare animals in
captivity may be the only chance
they have for survival, he explained.
“This is where we re going to
have to know more about breeding
wild animals in captivity,” Seager
added. “So, the first thing we ll try
is to learn more about the natural
breeding environment that has been
taken from them. We re just
scratching the surface. We ll then
try to establish some sort of national
semen bank and then an interna
tional one.
“In today’s world, zoos have a
greater responsibility than just
being places to exhibit animals,”
Seager said.
