Improve livestock genetics
Increase milk production
Control disease outbreaks
Promote large-scale rearing
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: a) Improve livestock genetics.
Artificial insemination (AI) is the process of artificially depositing semen into the female reproductive tract of an animal. It is used in Assam to improve livestock genetics by selecting the best sires for breeding. This can lead to increased milk production, improved meat quality, and resistance to disease.
AI is a safe and effective way to improve livestock genetics. It is also a cost-effective way to increase production and improve the quality of livestock.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
- Option b) Increase milk production: AI can be used to increase milk production by selecting sires that have a high milk production record. However, this is not the primary purpose of AI in Assam.
- Option c) Control disease outbreaks: AI can be used to control disease outbreaks by preventing the spread of disease from one animal to another. However, this is not the primary purpose of AI in Assam.
- Option d) Promote large-scale rearing: AI can be used to promote large-scale rearing by allowing farmers to breed more animals with the same amount of labor. However, this is not the primary purpose of AI in Assam.
