This theme is all about bridging practice and science in the fields of animal health, welfare, breeding and production. Artificial insemination (AI) is the process of collecting sperm cells from a male animal and manually depositing them into the reproductive tract of a female. One can cite a number of potential benefits from the use of artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is not merely a novel method of bringing about impregnation in females. Instead, it is a powerful tool mostly employed for livestock improvement. In artificial insemination the germplasm of the bulls of superior quality can be effectively utilized with the least regard for their location in far away places. By adoption of artificial insemination, there would be considerable reduction in both genital and non-genital diseases in the farm stock. There are several advantages by artificial insemination over natural mating or servicing: 1) It prevents the spread of certain diseases and sterility due to genital diseases. 2) It helps in maintaining the accurate breeding and cawing records. 3) The progeny testing can be done at an early age. 4) The semen of a desired size can be used even after the death of that particular sire. 5) It makes possible the mating of animals with great differences in size without injury to either of the animal. 6) It is helpful to inseminate the animals that are refuse to stands or accept the male at the time of oestrum.
