In the George Green Building 846-4771 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.

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. So far, over 60 mammals, in size from small monkey: rhinos, have been used in studies. More than half are on endangered species list and aim these is one of the two Chi leopards in the United States.
