Artificial Insemination (AI) can significantly enhance pig breeding efficiency, but success depends on several factors:

  • Proper semen storage – Semen should be stored at 15-17°C to maintain viability and motility.
  • Clean AI procedures – Always use sterilized AI catheters and maintain strict hygiene to prevent infections.
  • Correct insemination timing – Ensure that AI is performed midway through standing heat for maximum conception success.
  • Post-insemination monitoring – Keep track of sows to detect early signs of pregnancy or heat return.

Pro Tip: Recording breeding dates helps track AI success and allows for better herd management decisions.
