Intrauterine sperm injection for artificial insemination is difficult in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) and rhesus macaques (M. mulatta) due to the complex structure of the cervical canal, which differs from that of humans. Despite the availability of several artificial insemination methods for macaques, pregnancy rates are inconsistent, and details regarding ovulation are unclear, thus warranting more effective methods. Therefore, we developed an effective, ultrasound-guided,transabdominal intrauterine artificial insemination method for cynomolgus macaques that involves timing sperm injection to coincide with the periovulation phase estimated according to rapid hormone measurement. We performed our intrauterine artificial insemination on 6 female macaques; 4 of the 5 animals that were predicted to have ovulated soon after insemination became pregnant, whereas the 1 macaque that was predicted not to have ovulated did not. Furthermore, we saw no evidence of injury, such as a conspicuous needle hole or bleeding on the surface of or inside the uterus, nor did our method result in any abnormalities in the mothers or their offspring. Thus, our ultrasound-guided, transabdominal, intrauterine artificial insemination method is rapid, safe, and effective in cynomolgus macaques.
