Benefit of Artificial Insemination to Farmers of Milk Producer Companies Managed by NDDB Dairy Services

摘要

Cood production and reproduction are two essential components for making dairy farming a profitable enterprise. While good production is the result of overall management practices, good reproduction is achieved by adopting a suitable technology for multiplying dairy animals. A number of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been applied for enhancing reproductive performance of dairy animals. Artificial Insemination (Al) plays an important role to increase the milk yielding capacity of dairyanimals all over the world. It is a correct and economical way of genetic improvement and realization of breeding goals. It selectively increases genetic gain through increased selection intensity in males. Al has the potential of economic and rapid dissemination of elite male germplasm to a large number of females in a short duration of time. It has become one of the most crucial and proven techniques for genetic improvement of dairy animals as semen from genetically superior bulls is used to impregnate the female animals artificially. This is the most efficient technology accessible to dairy farmers to improve productivity and profitability of dairy enterprise.
