What is Artificial Insemination?
Artificial insemination (AI) is a breeding technique where semen from a stud is collected and then manually introduced into a dam’s reproductive system. This method is commonly used when natural mating is not feasible.
Why Artificial Insemination is Used
AI allows breeders to overcome distance and compatibility challenges. It also helps prevent injury, reduces the risk of disease transmission, and allows for genetic material to be preserved for future use.
Types of Artificial Insemination
AI methods include fresh semen insemination, chilled semen shipping, and frozen semen storage. Each method has its own success rate and requirements for proper handling.
