Descriptions

Artificial insemination is the most common breeding method for livestock in the developed world, due to its proven advantages such as infection control. However, there are still challenges to be met in terms of improving reproductive performance and sperm quality and preservation. This book presents a number of perspectives on artificial insemination in common livestock species, as well as dogs and buffaloes. Topics covered include sperm preparation techniques; the use of sex-sorted sperm; semen and sperm analysis; and the effect of feed supplements on sperm quality and reproductive performance. The book will also focus on current and future trends such as biomimetic techniques for increasing sperm quality, and the increasing use of artificial insemination in the breeding of small ruminants such as sheep and goats. Both agricultural scientists and livestock breeders will find much of value in this book, and we believe that it will provide an essential reference tool for both researchers and practitioners in this field.
