Define artificial insemination, and tell why it is important

What will be an ideal response?


Artificial insemination (AI) is the process of placing sperm in a female animal in close proximity with
female reproductive cells, called eggs or ova, by a method other than natural mating. Sperm consists of
male reproductive cells. AI allows for use of a superior male animal to father many times more
offspring than would be possible naturally. This process has allowed for more improvement in milk
production in the last 50 years than had occurred in the previous 200 years.
