What is Cattle Artificial Insemination?

Cattle artificial insemination (AI) is a process used globally by breeders to introduce superior genetics into their herds without the need and danger of keeping a bull. It involves collecting sperm from a male, processing and freezing it, and then depositing it directly into the reproductive tract of a female when she is in heat.

Steps for Successful Insemination

Success in AI depends heavily on timing and technique. Farmers must accurately detect heat, properly thaw the semen straw, and use hygienic insemination techniques to ensure the highest conception rates possible.
