- See the cervix. A camera with its own light sits in the tip of the 35 cm (13.8 in) stainless steel probe and shows the way in on the screen on top of the grip.
- Made for straws. The 70 cm (27.6 in) insemination rod takes 0.25 and 0.5 ml (¼ and ½ cc) straws. It goes in through the port at the back of the grip and runs through the probe inside a fresh 70 cm sheath, so it carries on past the end of the probe.
- Warm before it goes in. Plug the heating cable into the grip and the steel probe warms up before use, so the first touch is not cold metal.
- Clears its own lens. If the picture clouds over, a button on the gun blows air across the camera to clear it.

Kiba Scope Cattle is a breeding tool for experienced hands. It is not a veterinary device and does not guarantee a pregnancy. If you have not inseminated a cow before, take an AI course or have your vet show you first. Breeding horses instead? See Kiba Scope Equine: the same gun, with the page written for mares.

Seeing what you are doing
The cervix, on screen.
A cow is usually bred by feel: one arm in the rectum finds and holds the cervix while the other hand works the AI gun through it. Kiba Scope Cattle puts a camera and a light at the tip of a steel probe and a screen in your hand, so you can see the cervix and line up the insemination rod by the picture.
How it is used
From warm probe to done
Charge, warm, clean
Charge the gun, plug in the heating cable to warm the probe and wipe the probe with an alcohol swab. Get the cow ready the way you normally would: in the chute or headlock, tail held aside, the area cleaned and dried.
Load the straw
Thaw the straw the way your semen supplier tells you, load it into the 70 cm insemination rod and slide a fresh sheath over the rod.
Go by the screen
Pass the probe in gently while you watch the screen. If the picture clouds over, press the air button. When the cervix comes into view, feed the rod in through the port at the back of the grip and line it up by the picture.
Deposit slowly
Press the end of the rod slowly to deposit the semen, then draw the rod and the probe out gently. Throw the sheath away and clean the probe before the next cow.
Original manufacturer demonstrations
Watch the real device at work.
These are the original, full-length manufacturer clips—not an AI presenter or an animated reconstruction. Watch the device in the cow, the live screen, the cervix appearing and the rod being guided by the picture.
- 1See the physical device and its live screen in use on a restrained cow.
- 2Watch the cervix appear on the screen as the probe is positioned.
- 3Inspect the rod alignment and operating controls in the complete source clips.
Original manufacturer demonstration footage with its original captions. These videos show how the device is operated; they do not verify pregnancy outcomes.
Warm before use
Not cold steel.
Plug the heating cable in the box into the grip and the stainless steel probe warms before it goes in, so the cow does not feel cold steel.
- Heating cable in the box
- Warms the steel probe
- Charger with US plug
Truck to chute
Everything in one bag.
The gun, the 70 cm rod, 25 sheaths, the charger and the heating cable travel together in one padded bag, so the whole kit goes from the truck to the chute in one hand.
- Padded bag, 67.5 × 32 × 12.3 cm (26.6 × 12.6 × 4.8 in)
- 25 sheaths, 70 cm (27.6 in)
- 1.8 kg (4 lb) packed
Side by side
By sight, or by feel
| What matters | Kiba Scope Cattle | By hand |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the cervix | On the screen, lit from the tip | By feel, through the rectal wall |
| What you see | The way in, in colour | Nothing |
| Before it goes in | Probe warmed by cable | Cold steel gun |
| In the box | Gun, 70 cm rod, 25 sheaths, cable, bag | AI gun and sheaths |
Use the calculator above with your local technician fee and call-out charge. After the gun, each cow mainly adds a fresh sheath. Your vet remains the right choice for a cow with any health concern and for pregnancy checks. Heat detection and timing still decide most of the result.

Who is it for?
Beef and dairy breeders and AI technicians who already breed cows by AI and want to see what they are doing. If you have not inseminated a cow before, take an AI course or have your vet show you first.
Is this a real product or AI-generated?
It is a real, physical tool. The first video at the top of this page is real product footage: it shows the screen view and the rod being fed through the gun. The photos below show the unit, rod, sheaths, charger, cable and carry bag that ship in the box.
Does it replace learning AI?
No. It shows you the cervix and where the rod goes in. Heat detection, timing, thawing and handling the straw are the same as with any AI gun, and they decide most of the result.
Do I still need an arm in the rectum?
We don’t claim it does away with that. The camera shows you the opening of the cervix so you can line the rod up with it by the picture; it sees as far as that opening, and past it the rod goes on through the rings as with any AI gun. In the real footage at the top of this page, no arm goes into the cow: one hand holds the gun and the other feeds the rod. Whether you also steady the cervix by hand on your cows is a question for your AI trainer or vet.
Will my vet or AI technician think it is a gimmick?
An experienced AI technician who can find the cervix by feel may not need a camera. Kiba Scope is for breeders who want a lit screen view and visual alignment; it does not replace AI training, heat detection, semen handling or veterinary care. Show the real footage at the top of this page to your vet or AI trainer and ask whether it fits the way you work.
What semen does it take?
The 70 cm (27.6 in) rod is made for straws of 0.25 or 0.5 ml (¼ or ½ cc), the usual sizes for frozen bull semen. Thaw each straw the way your semen supplier tells you.
Is it long enough for a cow?
The steel probe with the camera is 35 cm (13.8 in) and the gun is 45 cm (17.7 in) overall. The insemination rod is 70 cm (27.6 in) and runs through the probe inside a 70 cm sheath, so it carries on past the end of the probe. This long version is built for cattle; the original Kiba Scope for dogs is a different, shorter tool.
Does the probe warm up?
Yes. Plug the heating cable from the box into the grip and the steel probe warms. Give it a few minutes before you start.
Can I check the semen first?
Yes. Kiba Lens is a microscope with a heated stage and a screen on top: one drop from a thawed test straw on a warm slide shows you whether the sperm in that batch are alive and moving.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the probe and its tip with an alcohol swab before and after every cow, and use a fresh sheath each time. The sheaths are single use.
Does it work where I am?
Yes. The menus and button labels are in English. Your order includes the charger with US plug, selected for your delivery country; no separate plug adapter is required.
Can I use this for horses?
Yes. It is the same gun we list for mares as Kiba Scope Equine, with the page, steps and FAQ written for horse breeding. If you breed horses, order from that page. The original Kiba Scope is a shorter tool for dogs only.
Can I use this for deer or goats?
Deer, yes: it is the same unit we list as Kiba Scope Deer, with the page written for deer farms. For goats and sheep see Kiba Scope Goat, a shorter kit with fresh-semen tubes.
Can I buy more sheaths?
Yes. Twenty-five come in the box; spare Kiba Scope Cattle Sheaths come in bags of 100 or 300, one for every cow. The Kiba Breeding Gloves and Gel Pack covers your arm, and the breeding season kit above adds a hundred sheaths, the gloves and gel and the Thaw cup, with the local kit saving applied automatically in cart.
Will it guarantee a pregnancy?
No. It lets you see and line up the rod. Heat timing, semen quality and the cow’s own health decide the rest, and those are questions for your vet.
Where does it ship from?
Kiba Scope Cattle ships from Hong Kong. Orders are prepared in 1 to 3 business days and usually arrive by tracked courier in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is free, and tracking is emailed as soon as the parcel leaves.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are prepared within 1 to 3 business days and delivered by tracked courier, usually in 5 to 10 business days. Shipping is free and you get a tracking number by email.
What if it is not right for us?
Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we will arrange a return for a refund. If it arrives damaged or develops a fault in the first year, we repair, replace or refund. Full terms are in the refund policy.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 686 reviews.
Limousin, 10 years, 38 cows. A traveling tech wanted $35 and missed the week they cycled. My brother held the tail, I had the gun, brown cow, straw, which is the photo. 27 of 35 settled. I did not know the air button cleared the lens. Used it on cow three. Clear after.
Angus, 17 years, 90 cows. Last repair on the old gun was $600 and it still fogged. Photo is the bad one, sleeve in the way, screen behind it. I could not see until I pulled the plastic down. Second cow was fine. That is the star off. 61 of 82 settled.
Simmentals, 14 years, 50 spring cows. Guessing cost me a set of heifers. 36 of 48 on the first pass. Tan cow, pink sleeve, four buttons, navy sleeve at the edge. That is how I hold it. Half-ml straw sat proud until I seated it. Quarter-ml ones drop in.
Close photo of the tip and screen. Camera light is strong enough indoors. I wipe the end between cows and use the air button if it clouds.
Brahman-cross, 8 years, 24 cows. The vet could not get down the lane that week. We did them outside under the trees, three of us, which is the photo. 18 of 22 settled. Gun is small in the frame because I was holding a rope. Plug did not match the shed. Emailed, answer the same day.
Brangus, 11 years, 80 commercial cows. A neighbor wanted $25 and a week's notice. 57 of 74 settled. Two cows on the straw, gun between them, clear sleeve, which is the photo. I thought the sheaths were short. They were in the end pocket. Zipper stuck once. It runs.
Charolais, 9 years, 30 heifers. Clinic day was $40. 22 of 28 settled. Close photo is just the screen and her hide. No date, just the picture. Sun was on it and I cupped my hand. Then I could see. Heating cable had stayed in the truck. It rides in the bag now.
Herefords, 12 years, 45 cows. Hauling opens was $28 plus the trailer. 31 of 42 settled. Brown and white cow, gun at her hip, that blurry phone photo. Screen showed the circle and nothing else. I left the correction talk out of it. This is a camera. Battery did the bunch after an overnight charge.
Gun on the truck seat between cows. Screen up, sheath loaded. Works fine outdoors as long as you keep the sun off the display.
Red Angus, 15 years, 70 cows. The tech was $32 a head and two counties over. 49 of 64 settled. Photo is the black cow in the concrete barn, my helper's hands, screen up. I could see the picture before I finished. Sleeve was twisted the first cow. I fixed it and the rest were clean.
Close-up of the screen during use. That circle is what I was watching to deposit. Picture is bright under barn lights.
Gun between two cows on the straw. Sleeve clear, screen on. Probe length is right for our setup.
Kit in the carry bag. Everything fits — gun, rod, sheaths, heating cable, charger. Used it on 20 head the week the tech was booked.
Did 30 head last week. Screen stayed readable under the barn lights and the probe didn’t chill the cows. Settlement rate is looking good so far. Zipper on the bag sticks a little when cold but nothing major.
Works well in the chute. I can watch the tip and adjust instead of going only by feel. Heating cable is worth using — cows stay calmer. Only minor thing is the screen is hard to read in direct noon sun. Does what it says.
Finally something that lets me see the cervix instead of guessing. The picture is clear enough to line the rod up and the probe warms so the first touch isn’t cold. Settled better than last year when I was waiting on the traveling tech.
Practical tool. I warm the probe, clear the lens if needed, and watch the picture. Much more confidence than pure feel. Only mark is the screen washing out in direct sunlight.
Picture quality is enough to work by. I can see the cervix opening and place the rod accurately. Battery holds for a normal breeding session. Bag zipper caught once on the piping but ran fine after.
Used it on heifers and cows. Picture is good enough that I can tell when I’m in the right spot. Battery lasts a full morning if you start charged. Carry bag fits the gun, rod, sheaths and heating cable.

Better than I expected. You can actually see the cervix instead of hoping. Air blast clears mucus off the lens. A couple of sheaths twisted the first day until I got the hang of loading them straight.

Replaced calling the tech for most of the herd. The visual feedback makes a big difference on the tighter cervixes. Warming cable helps. I keep the gun in the bag with the screen facing up so it doesn’t get scratched.
Clear view, easy to charge, and the rod length works with standard straws. I like that you can see when you’re lined up before you deposit. Only complaint is midday glare outdoors — shade or turn the unit and it’s fine. No issues after the first day.
Works well in the chute. I can watch the tip and adjust instead of going only by feel. Heating cable is worth using — cows stay calmer. Only minor thing is the screen is hard to read in direct noon sun. Support was quick.
Used it on commercial cows and a few registered. The camera shows what you need. Sheaths stay clean if you load them straight. Support sent a converter for the plug right away. No issues since.
Been doing AI for years by feel. This changes it. You watch the tip go through the rings and hit the target. Air button is handy when the lens gets wet. Works with both straw sizes once you seat the bigger ones.
Practical tool. I warm the probe, clear the lens if needed, and watch the picture. Much more confidence than pure feel. Only mark is the screen washing out in direct sunlight.
Solid for on-farm AI. Clear enough image to line up, air button works when the lens fogs, and the whole thing packs into the bag. Glare is the only real outdoor limitation at noon.
Used it on heifers and cows. Picture is good enough that I can tell when I’m in the right spot. Battery lasts a full morning if you start charged. Carry bag fits the gun, rod, sheaths and heating cable. Would buy again.
Bought this after missing a couple of cows because the AI guy couldn’t make the right day. Screen is bright, air button clears the lens when it fogs, and the sheaths run smooth. Bag is fine once the zipper is broken in.

Camera at the tip is the real upgrade. You watch the rod come out and hit the cervix. Works with standard 0.25 and 0.5 straws. Bag is roomy once the zipper is broken in.
Worth it if you’re already comfortable with AI and want to do more of your own. Visual confirmation cuts the guesswork. Air clear button and warm probe are both useful. Screen is tough to see in full sun though.
Practical tool. I warm the probe, clear the lens if needed, and watch the picture. Much more confidence than pure feel. Only mark is the screen washing out in direct sunlight.
Solid tool if you’re already doing your own AI. The camera shows the folds and the opening clearly. 0.25 ml straws drop in easy; 0.5 need a little seat. Support answered about the charger plug the same day. No issues after the first day.
