What does artificial insemination mean?<br />
The artificial insemination of dogs is not a new concept. The first reported insemination of a bitch is dated<br />
back to 1780.<br />
Artificial insemination (<strong>AI</strong>) is the instrum<strong>en</strong>tal transfer of sem<strong>en</strong> from a male dog to the vagina or uterus of<br />
a bitch. In contrast to the natural mating process, sem<strong>en</strong> from the male dog is collected manually and th<strong>en</strong><br />
deposited into the vagina or uterus of the bitch with the use of specialized instrum<strong>en</strong>ts. There is no further<br />
interfer<strong>en</strong>ce with the fertilization process, such as the sperm p<strong>en</strong>etration of the ovum.
