Solution

Artificial insemination: It is the method in which the semen is injected directly into the female's cervix, uterus, or fallopian tube.

Advantages of artificial insemination:

  1. Since artificial insemination includes the storage of sperm and there isn't a need for the maintenance of the herd of bulls, the maintenance cost is reduced.
  2. The spread of diseases can be avoided by artificial insemination as it is done in a sterile and hygienic manner.
  3. Superior quality breeds can be produced using artificial insemination as we can select which breeds semen needs to be used.
  4. Artificial insemination involves only the collection of semen from the stallion. Thus even stallions that have trouble mating the normal way due to certain sexual problems can also be used.
