It would result in better control of the gene pool and the timing of the births for more consistent products (calves).

It get way more complicated and detailed than that and would require a lot of research. It's more common in dairy cattle because of how dangerous the bull can be to cows/heifers as well as staff. More than controlling the gene pool it is also the fact of being able to utilize sperm to fertilize more cows and thus reducing the amount of bulls needed, such as 1 bull can sire up to 60 cows as for a bulls semen collection can be inseminated to more than 120 which is more than double. This reduces farmers need to keep more bulls and reducing their profit from feeding. There are many reason to AI so do research all the reasons even your local cattlemen inseminate.

When was the first artificial insemination birth?

Artificial insemination was first used in the late 1784 in a dog.it has now become standard practice in sheep and cattle. In humans it is difficult to say because it is possible people did it for themselves without it being recorded. If you are talking about In vitro fertilisation (test tube baby) the first was called Louise Brown in England 30 years ago. She is now a mother herself, naturally.


Why artificial insemination is necessary?

It would depend on where artificial insemination is used. For instance it may be used on farms. Farmers often sell the sperm of valuable horses or bull's because they have favorable genetic material. For instance a very powerful bull will often be used to breed new cattle. On the other hand artificial insemination may also be used to keep species alive or to have animals mate that usually are rather picky. This includes the panda. They are known to mate rarely and instead of having them go extinct, they are artificially inseminated to keep them alive. This is also used for other animals that are usually not kept in pairs in zoos or other locations, such as orcas.

Why would someone use artificial insemination?

A woman is given fertility drugs to help her body produce several eggs at once, rather than the usual one per month. When a sufficient number of eggs have ripened they are extracted from her body with a long puncture needle, and kept at a laboritory. The man then hands in a dose of semen (obtained from masturbation) which is 'worked up' to have only the most mobile (quickest) sperm cells remain. The eggs and sperm are then put together in a test tube, in order to find each other more easily as they would inside a woman's body. If one or more eggs are successfully fertilised one or two (usually not more, in view of medical risks) will be put back into the woman's body in hopes that they might nestle there resulting in pregnancy. Success rate of IVF is roughly 20%-25%.
