Post-cervical artificial insemination (PCAI) can reduce costs, use less semen, and utilize superior genetic for more sows. PCAI represents an economic savings as it is faster than traditional AI, so requires less labour, and uses less semen. The reproductive performance of using PCAI instead of traditional AI has been variable, even though the expectation was an increase. PCAI does not require a boar, but does need time for the cervix to relax. As well, heat checking is still necessary, timing remains important, and PCAI does not appear to be appropriate for gilts yet. PCAI is still a developing technology, but has the potential to increase breeding rate, reduce labour and costs, and increase availability of superior semen.
