Solution

Artificial insemination is the process of cross-breeding in which semen is collected from a desired bull of high milk yielding breed and injected into the genital tract of a female animal during its fertility period.
Advantages of artificial insemination:
1. It helps in raising animals with desirable traits.
2. It is cheaper as semen from a single bull can be used to impregnate several thousand cows.
