Boar semen

WARNING: THIS ARTICLE MAY CONTAIN SMALL TRACES OF SEMEN. Anyone with a receptive vagina should proceed with extreme caution.

Boars are a kind of mammal. That means that they have fur, mammary glands and give life-birth, although some freak mammals lay eggs. Because they live in Australia and there are many freaks there.

Boars live in many places, but preferably in the forest.

Male boars have testicles which are little factories hanging outside the body in a sack (nut sack in colloquial English) that produce sperm.

Later some stuff is added to the sperm turning it into semen. This semen is ejaculated from the penis usually into a vagina for the purpose of fertilizing eggs.

Needless to say it is important to fertilize eggs for the future of boarkind and hence the study of boar semen is incredibly important in this respect.

Methods

Boar semen was collected and frozen in a special substance consisting of ostrich egg yolk lipoprotein fractions. Ostriches are birds and not mammals, although they cannot fly. It was then injected into female boars, which are called cows. No... sows!

results The frozen boar semen in the ostrich milkshake like supplement was successfully injected into sows and ...tada...they got pregnant from it.

discussion

It is very good that boar semen can be frozen because wild boars are very important for the maintenance of the forest and they also taste good.

There were some slight problems with variation. Not all fertilization went so well. It is not sure if that is because the sows were missing out on the foreplay of the boars, the researchers had cold hands, or the ostrich milkshake was not optimal as a supplement.

Further studies are needed.
