Artificial insemination (AI)
What is AI?
Artificial insemination (AI) in sheep is performed using the keyhole surgical technique of laparoscopy. The laparoscopic technique used by LBS achieves maximum conception rates. Laparoscopic AI involves the synchronisation of ewes and timed insemination.
Advantages of AI
- Maximise genetics of a superior ram by more widespread use
- Use genetics of a superior sire through purchased semen
- Use of link sires for benchmarking / progeny testing
- Concentrated lambing pattern
