Three experiments were conducted with 105 superovulating Holstein dairy cows in attempts to improve the fertilization rate. Cows were superovulated with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and time of estrus was regulated with prostaglandin F(2)alpha (PGF(2)alpha). Semen was deposited on each infundibulum through a laparoscope inserted through the flank (Experiment 1) or near the uterotubal junctions through flexible tubing passed through the cervix and uterine horns (Experiment 2). In the third experiment, high numbers of sperm in fresh semen were deposited in the uterus. Cows were necropsied and ova were recovered and examined about 3.5 d after the beginning of estrus. Deposition of 0.5 ml of frozen-thawed semen on each infundibulum (Experiment 1) reduced both ovum recovery and fertilization. In ten cows inseminated on the infundibulum, ova representing 43% of ovulation points were recovered and 9% of these recovered ova were fertilized. In ten control cows, ova representing 80% of ovulation points were recovered and 62% of them were fertilized. In a 2 x 2 experiment with 36 superovulating cows (Experiment 2), 1 ml of diluted fresh or frozen semen was deposited either near the uterotubal junction or in the uterine body. The overall fertilization rate was 61%, with no significant effect of site of semen deposition or type of semen used. In Experiment 3, 2 or 3 ml of neat semen (average of 4.4 billion sperm) was deposited in the uterus of 12 cows; 183 of 197 intact ova (93%) were fertilized. In 56 control cows inseminated with 0.5 to 1.5 ml of frozen diluted semen (average of 70 million sperm), 502 of 947 intact ova were fertilized (53%, P<0.001). Insemination with high numbers of fresh sperm overcame problems of sperm loss or sperm transport and improved the fertilization rate.
