Artificial insemination
This paper looked at the importance of Artificial Insemination in the production of Farm Animals. Artificial Insemination is a means of attaining pregnancy not involving sexual intercourse. This technique is an efficient way to reduce physical stress of the animals during mating and can produce more offspring using the collcted semen.
There are several advantages of Artificial Insemination. There is no need of maintenance of breeding bull, it prevents the spread of certain diseases and sterility due to genital diseases. There are also disadvantages using this technique. It requires well-trained operations, special equipment and more time than natural service. Improper cleaning may lead to lower fertility and if the bull is not properly tested, the spreading of genital disease will be increased.
Artificial Insemination has its benefits, too. First, increased efficiency of bull usage. Collected semen can be diluted and extended to create hundreds of doses from a single ejaculate. Second, increased potential for genetic selection. Therefore, one can choose only the few best males for use asparents, increasing the selection intensity. Third, decreased costs. Male animals consume relatively large amount of feed. It helps the farmers financially because there will be fewer males needed. Fourth, increased safety for animals and farmers. These factor means that natural mating is likely to result accidents and injury to either the cow or the bull than is AI. Fifth, reduced disease transmission. Collected semen is routinely checked for quality, which can help avoid problems associated with male infertility.
Artificial Insemination has its techniques in improving the process. First, Semen Tank and A.I Equipment Maintenance. Keeping the semen tasks in a secure, clean, dry place away from corrosive chemicals. Second, Proper Semen Handling. Thaw semen in 95 degree F water for 45 seconds and dry it with a clean towel. Third, Correct Semen Placement. Clean the region of
