Abstract

Artificial insemination is the technique in which semen with living sperms is collected from the male bull and, processed, stored, and introduced into the female reproductive tract at the proper time with the help of instruments for the purpose of conception. This has been found to result in normal offspring. In this process, the semen is inseminated into the female animals by placing a portion of it either in collected or diluted forms into the vagina, cervix, and uterus by mechanical methods at the proper time and under most hygienic conditions. Also usually referred to as assisted reproduction technologies (ART), including in-vitro fertilization, intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo transfer, and gamete intra-fallopian transfer. The use of artificial insemination is for the genetic improvement of farm animals. It is also used for breeding dairy cattle and has made bulls of high genetic merit available to all animals in the world Ethiopia is now grown, but oestrus detection is difficult owing to poorly expressed oestrus of same breeds like zebu breeds and the success rate in Ethiopia is still low, owing to a number of technical, financial, infrastructural, and managerial and heat detection problems and the demerits are they find trained skill, taking a lot of time and practice to carry out efficiently and effectively each time. Because of this, a qualified vet or animal technician will be needed and these can be costly. And based on technique, AI was performed in three forms; they are Intravaginal, Intra cervical, and Intrauterine, however, it has a major problem associated with artificial insemination service, like, inability to detect estrus, disease, management problem, poor inseminating technique, poor semen handling and inability to control estrus cycle. Reproductive efficiency of the dairy herd is important to the economic success of the dairy operation. Thus, the efficient and accurate detection of estrus and the proper time of insemination is of utmost importance if dairy producers want to increase the reproductive efficiency of the herd.
