Overview

Artificial insemination is an assisted reproductive technique in which sperm is collected and then introduced directly into a female's reproductive tract, such as the uterus or cervix, rather than through natural mating. It is used both in human medicine, to overcome certain causes of infertility, and extensively in animal agriculture, where it is a cornerstone of livestock breeding. In farm animals, particularly dairy and beef cattle, artificial insemination allows the semen of a single genetically superior sire to be used to breed many females, accelerating genetic improvement, controlling the spread of disease, and enabling the preservation and wide distribution of desirable genetic material. Its success depends on accurate timing relative to ovulation, which is why techniques such as oestrous synchronisation and the identification of fertility-related biomarkers are important to improving conception rates. Research in Fertility Biomarkers and related OpenAccessPub titles addresses these factors, including the association of specific genes with fertility selection indices in Holstein cattle, the use of oestrous synchronisation to improve cow fertility through reproductive management, the assessment of reproductive performance and sex ratio in crossbred dairy cattle, and treatment of postpartum reproductive problems. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to artificial insemination and reproductive biomarkers.
