Answer 1

I read the last answer with interest, as I found it to be mostly acurate, as I majored in ag science. however, I have never heard of a honey bee being artificailly inseminated. But then again I did not raise bees, can this prcedure really be used on bees?

Answer 2

1)Artificial insemination (AI) is the process by which sperm is placed into a female's uterus (intrauterine), or cervix (intracervical) using artificial means rather than by natural sexual intercourse with the intention of impregnating the female.

2)The man providing the sperm is usually advised not to ejaculate for two to three days before providing the sample in order to increase the sperm count.

A woman's menstrual cycle is closely observed, by tracking basal body temperature (BBT) and changes in vaginal mucous, or using ovulation kits, ultrasounds or blood tests.

When using intra-uterine insemination (IUI), the sperm must immediately be “washed” in a laboratory and a chemical is added to the sample. The process of “washing” the sperm increases the chances of fertilization and removes any chemicals in the s***n that may cause discomfort for the woman.

If sperm is provided by a sperm donor through a sperm bank, it will be frozen and quarantined for a particular period and the donor will be tested before and after production of the sample to ensure that he does not carry a transmissable disease. Sperm samples are produced at the sperm bank by the sperm donor. A chemical known as a cryoprotectant is added to the sperm to aid the freezing and thawing process. Further chemicals may be added which separate the most active sperm in the sample as well as extending or diluting the sample so that vials for a number of insemination are produced.

3)The easiest way to inseminate is by intracervical insemination (ICI), where s***n is injected high into the cervix with a needle-less syringe. This process most closely replicates the way in which s***n is depositied by the p***s in the cervix when the male ejaculates during vaginal intercourse. However, more technical procedures may be used which increase the chances of conception.

For example, 'washed s***n', that is, s***n from which certain chemicals have been removed, can be injected directly into a woman's uterus in a process called intrauterine insemination (IUI).

If the s***n is not washed it may elicit uterine cramping, expelling the s***n and causing pain, because of content of prostaglandins.

4)

1--This method is advantageous to impregnate a women who do not have a partner or when her hubby do not motile sperm.

2--In case of livestock's,this method is used to increase the milk production and quality.

5)

percentage of success is low.

if not done properly,it can leads to some genetical defects in offspring.

6)

horses, cattle, pigs, pedigree dogs, and honeybees.

7)

depends on your city.

Answer 3

artificial insemination is when you collect c men from a male animal and then store, so its ready for when the female cows come in season. the steps involved are collecting the c men , storing the c men in the right pro portions into thin plastic holders, freezing them in tubs, putting them in syringes, warming them to body temperature and putting them by hand into the female cows uterus. The other animals that i no of that can have AI are sheep,horses,pigs and think dogs.

Answer 4

artificial insemination is the injection of s***n to produce pregnancy, the embryo transfer is the complete embryo deposited in the uterus of a female either animal or human

   success rate for a artificial insemination up to 95% in cows sows same or higher

   advantages more options available you don't need the male present and you can get s***n from all over the world (bull s***n) but for other species i don't thing is possible

   disadvantages is complicated need proper trained personal mostly veterinarians and proper facilities

   animals cows pigs, rabits , fish, and many others the most common is in cows mostly using frozen s***n from around the world once frozen can be send any place in the world and is use in a exotic animals like cheetah or endanger species

cost   have no idea some not some very espensive
