Abstract: Artificial Insemination technology is one of the greatest technology developed in the field of Animal Husbandry, which solves a lot of problems associated with the sexual mating of cattle. Artificial Insemination is the technique of fertilizing the female cow artificially i.e., without physical mating of the cow and bull. It is performed by injecting the semen of a bull directly into the ractovagina of the cow. This technique not only prevents Sexually transmitted diseases but also at the same time provides maximum chances of fertilization with superior offspring. Although, the success rate of this technique is low in our country due to a lack of skilled personnel and improper handling. Therefore, in this paper, we have briefed about the need for Artificial Insemination in our country along with its adequate procedure, equipment used, and methods.
