The book delves into the subject of andrology, encompassing topics such as puberty, sexual maturity, and libido in domestic animals, as well as male infertility caused by abnormalities, malformations, and diseases of the male genitalia. It also covers the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, as well as artificial insemination technology in cattle, including semen collection, evaluation, and packaging. The book goes on to discuss semen dilutors or extenders, semen freezing methods and precautions, and the use of liquid and frozen semen in artificial insemination techniques. Additionally, the book examines factors affecting conception rates in artificial insemination programs and the planning and organization of an AI center. Record keeping in andrology and AI, as well as the cleaning and sterilization of AI equipment, are also discussed. The book further explores andrological investigations for breeding soundness in bulls, and the application of artificial insemination technology in buffaloes, horses, pigs, sheep, and goats. The book also touches upon the topic of castration in different domestic animals.
