Looking for pipettes to AI from ampules

[Beltie]

I will be using some old semen this year that was frozen in ampules.

I am not able to find a source of the old style plastic pipettes that were used back in the day.

Can anyone help me find a couple packages?

OR

What are you using to AI cows, using semen stored in ampules?

Thank you!

If you order some new semen straws, you can use a needle and syringe to pull the semen into them and then breed as usual. I want to say it requires a 12ga to fit the straw right, but would have to check to be sure. Local vet claims you can use the 1/4 straws and a smaller needle to spread the amp out over more cows if needed.

Don't forget to have a scribe ready to break off the top of the amp and also thaw in ice water.  We finally used our last Cunia amps a couple years ago.

I think nasco has them.

14 ga needle does work drawing it up new straws.

I bought some amps 2 years ago and also the tubes and syringes from Universal Semen Sales.  They can get you set up.  Our first time using amps and 4 out of 5 had calves.  Worked as good as the ones bred with straws.

Do you have a thaw box? I think that you thaw amps in ice water but may be wrong bout that. ???

Thank you all for your advice and leads.  God Bless!
