- Abstract
In India major portion of goat farming is extensive and breeding system follows uncontrolled natural mating. For better breeding management, there should be sufficient good quality stud bucks. However, it is unfortunate that due to lack of breeding bucks, more than 30% estrus does remain without service. Cryopreservation of superior native buck semen and artificial insemination are (AI) important tools for the proper management of breeding policy, including the ability to check for negative selection. AI is a part of assisted reproductive technology (ART) providing augmentation of genetic make-up in individuals. AI in sheep and goat was first described in detail in 1987. Globally, 0.5 million AIs are performed annually in the case of goats which is very less compared with other animals. Research on cryopreservation of goat semen and AI has been limited to few research institutes, and AI is least practiced in field condition. Therefore, the current manuscript focuses on the steps and advancement of AI in goat.
