Method for artificial insemination of mammals

A composition for enhancing artificial insemination in mammals, comprising:

• an aqueous emulsion of milled mastic gum derived from pistacia lentiscus having a particulate size of less than 40 micrometers;
• ionic calcium from a source of calcium chloride or milled calcium carbonate;
• ionic magnesium from magnesium chloride;
• and
• sodium and potassium ions.

An apparatus for performing artificial insemination in mammals using a mastic solution, comprising:

• a syringe configured for trans-pelvic delivery into a uterine cavity;
• a medical straw or catheter coupled to the syringe, adapted to deposit an aqueous mastic solution comprising milled pistacia lentiscus gum emulsion, ionic calcium, ionic magnesium, sodium, potassium, and trace minerals;
• a semen washing chamber or vial integrated with or attachable to the apparatus, configured to receive a donor semen sample and the mastic solution for removing debris and isolating motile sperm;
• wherein the apparatus is configured to:
• (a) prepare a uterus of a subject to be inseminated by applying the mastic solution to maintain pH between about 7.35 and 7.45 and provide antibacterial effect;
• (b) wash the semen sample in the mastic solution;
• and (c) deposit the washed semen directly into the uterus during ovulation, thereby enhancing conception success to about 95% by bypassing cervical barriers and delivering ionic minerals.
