Artificial Insemination in Cattle Breeding in Kenya

Abstract

The development of artificial insemination provides one of the best examples in our time of the impact of science on practice and of the stimulus to each which the interaction creates. It has fostered much intensive study on a variety of problems of male and female fertility which has led to a considerable increase in our knowledge of reproductive processes. Progress and success in artificial insemination has been greatest in those countries in which active fundamental and applied research work on problems of reproduction has been done and we in Kenya have been fortunate in having facilities for this work hand also in having the willing co-operation of many farmers in testing out ideas on a large scale in practice.
