Answer 1

In artificial insemination, the semen is collected from the male that is chosen as a patent and injected into the reproductive tract of the selected female by the breeder.

Advantages in breeding :

1) The semen may be used immediately or can be frozen and used at a later date. It can also be transported in a frozen form to where the female is housed. In this way, desirable matings are carried.

2) Artificial insemination helps us overcome several problems of normal mating.
