Electroejaculation
Electroejaculation is a procedure used to
In the practice of veterinary medicine and animal science, it is common to collect semen from domestic ruminants using electro-ejaculation without[why?] sedation or anesthesia. Only in goats is mild sedation sometimes used. Because of the significant skeletal muscle contractions it causes, electroejaculation is not used in stallions — except in rare cases, under general anesthesia.[citation needed]
In humans, electroejaculation is usually carried out under a

Application to endangered species conservation
The procedure has been adopted and modified as an assisted reproduction technique for managing endangered species, to ensure the production of offspring from incompatible pairs of animals where artificial insemination is feasible.[5]
Other uses
Electroejaculation may also be used for posthumous sperm retrieval in brain-dead humans.[6]
