Artificial Insemination Techniques and Natural Breeding

Description

Artificial insemination (Al) involves physically transferring sperm from a male into a female's reproductive tract. Many animal species employ it instead of natural mating because of its benefits like an increased animal and producer safety, production efficiency, and genetics are benefits. This book is for veterinarians, veterinary students, and breeders. It provides valuable knowledge on thoroughbred and warmblood reproductive management. The reader will find extensive descriptions of practical processes or techniques for male management, female management, artificial insemination with fresh, cooled, or frozen semen, embryo transfer, semen evaluation, etc. Most farms that use natural cover and artificial insemination can use these practices. This work is intended for stock owners, breeders, agricultural students, insemination technicians, and sterility workers in the hope that it can improve our herds and flocks' infamously low breeding efficiency and boost animal production in both numbers and quality.
