What are the advantages of using artificial insemination?

What will be an ideal response?


With artificial insemination, producers may use a sire of higher quality than they could otherwise afford, because the cost of semen from artificial insemination is much lower than the cost of a high-quality sire from any species. To help the producer determine the quality of a sire, data from the sire's progeny are available. Artificial insemination allows producers to select the type of sire needed for a particular group of females. Producers do not have to keep male animals. The likelihood of disease is lessened. Sires from all over the world can be used. Sires can easily be replaced.
