Why has the practice of artificial insemination increased in popularity?
What will be an ideal response?
The reasons why artificial insemination has become more popular include:
1 . Improved breeding facilities and management skills have made AI possible for all producers.
2 . Long-life semen extenders and low-cost, rapid delivery methods have made it possible to obtain and store semen for 5-7 days before it is used.
3 . Modern methods of genetic evaluation have made it easier to identify superior genetics, and AI has made it possible to maximize use of better quality boars on more females.
4 . Production systems that require large groups of pigs with minimum age spread are possible because larger groups of females can be bred in a shorter time period than would be possible with hand mating.
5 . Use of AI lowers disease risk and improves health of swine herds by eliminating the need for continuous introduction of new animals into the herd.
