Question

Write a short note on artificial insemination.

Answer 1

Artificial insemination (AI) is a technique where semen is collected from a healthy male animal and artificially introduced into the female reproductive tract using a syringe. This is done during the female's fertile period to achieve fertilization. AI helps produce hybrid offspring with desired qualities, improves breeding efficiency, and is economical since semen can be preserved and transported to distant places. It also ensures availability of high-quality semen year-round, unlike natural mating.
