inseminate

And with each insemination costing 80 Swiss francs, that can soon eat up a breeder's budget: a typical Swiss dairy farm spends several thousand Swiss francs a year on artificially inseminating its herd of cows.

A UW Medicine physician agreed to surrender his license after a California woman alleges DNA testing revealed he had artificially inseminated her with his own sperm.

The industry now relies on artificial insemination for reproduction, which includes the disturbing and violent practices of “milking” toms and inseminating hens.

Reeves and Swanson artificially inseminated nine zoo ocelots with sperm from the wild Texas animals in 2021 and 2022, and no pregnancies resulted.

This reduces the likelihood that, once inseminated, a female will let additional males try to fertilize her enormous sac of eggs.
