The Ministry of Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan emphasizes that artificial insemination of livestock is an integral part of modern animal husbandry and has a number of significant advantages.
Here are the key advantages of artificial insemination:
Key Advantages:
Obtaining High-Quality Offspring
- The use of semen from the best breeding bulls contributes to the improvement of animal genetics.
- The proper selection of semen can significantly increase milk and meat productivity, as well as improve fertility.
Disease Prevention
- This method helps to avoid the spread of infectious diseases among livestock.
- The semen undergoes veterinary examination, ensuring its safety.
Economic Efficiency
- Artificial insemination eliminates the need to keep a bull, reducing costs for feed, care, and maintenance.
Management and Safety of the Process
- The insemination process can be precisely planned, allowing for control over the offspring production.
Efficiency of Semen Use
- One bull is sufficient to inseminate a large number of females, enabling large-scale breeding programs.
Storage and Transportation of Semen
- Semen can be frozen under special conditions, allowing it to maintain its quality for a long time and be transported to any regions.
Scientific Approach to Breeding
- Breed selection is based on data about the origin and quality of the semen, which contributes to the improvement of breed characteristics on a scientific basis.
