Advantages and disadvantages of artificial insemination - SS3 Agriculture Past Questions and Answers - page 1
What is one of the advantages of artificial insemination?
Lower cost
Reduced genetic diversity
Increased reproductive success
Limited timing flexibility
Which factor can be a disadvantage of artificial insemination?
Improved genetic diversity
Higher pregnancy rates
Risk of disease transmission
Lower success rates
Why is selective breeding easier with artificial insemination?
Because it reduces genetic diversity
Because it allows the use of high-quality semen
Because it requires less skilled personnel
Because it is less cost-effective
What is a health risk associated with artificial insemination?
Lower pregnancy rates
Reduced genetic diversity
Risk of infection or complications
Reduced cost
Which advantage of artificial insemination is especially useful in livestock breeding?
Increased reproductive success
Genetic improvement
Cost-effectiveness
What can overuse of artificial insemination with a limited pool of males lead to?
Increased genetic diversity
Reduced genetic diversity
Lower disease susceptibility
Lower pregnancy rates
Which personnel are required for performing artificial insemination?
Unskilled labor
Skilled technicians
Geneticists
Veterinarians
What is a limitation of artificial insemination regarding timing?
It offers limited timing flexibility
It allows mating at any time
It is only suitable for nocturnal animals
It is more time-consuming than natural mating
How does artificial insemination contribute to genetic enhancement?
By reducing genetic diversity
By allowing the use of low-quality semen
By facilitating selective breeding
By increasing disease susceptibility
What is one cost associated with artificial insemination?
Reduced genetic diversity
Lower success rates
Skilled personnel requirement
Disease control
