Artificial Insemination in Poultry: Revolutionizing Modern Farming
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction Artificial insemination (A.I.) has significantly transformed poultry farming by offering a more efficient alternative to natural mating. This is particularly beneficial for large, heavily muscled birds like commercial turkeys and broilers, where natural reproduction can be challenging. A.I. enhances fertility rates, provides better breeding control, and increases overall productivity. Through this technique, farmers can selectively breed for desirable traits, improve biosecurity measures, and address physical breeding limitations in poultry. Artificial insemination (AI) in chickens is primarily utilized in selective breeding programs, research, and commercial layer or broiler breeding to improve genetic traits and regulate mating.
