What is artificial insemination technology? 

Instead of inseminating the animals naturally, artificial methods are used. In this technique, the semen of the male animal is conceived by putting it in the womb of the female animal using a special technique. The semen is stored with the help of special technology and the semen of one male animal can be used to inseminate many female animals. This technique is specially used to obtain good breed animals. The government is also promoting this technology to obtain high quality cattle. Under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission scheme, animal owners are made aware of this technique by the government. The special part is that with the help of artificial insemination, 20,000 cows can be bred in an year using one bull.
