Abstract

The technique of rectal probe electroejaculation has been developed to permit collection of semen using equipment proven safe, simple, and effective on the 30 primate species so far tested. This paper provides information on the construction and operation of this equipment, together with electrical parameters applicable to primate species. Seminal emission or ejaculation occurs in all species when alternating current is delivered at 0.25 mA/mm2 electrode area. The most effective frequency is 20 Hz, and the most acceptable anesthetic is ketamine hydrochloride.
