Summary

This manual of protocols, procedures, guidelines and recommendations was produced under an IAEA Technical Cooperation Project entitled “Improving Animal Productivity and Reproductive Efficiency”, that was implemented within the framework of the RCA programme, with technical support of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. It is the result of interactive collaboration between the national Project Coordinators of the project, several experts in AI in the participating Member States, IAEA experts who assisted with the project and the Technical Officer from the Joint FAO/IAEA Division. The manual is intended for livestock specialists involved in the provision of artificial insemination (AI) services to cattle farmers in Asia, including those in Ministries of Agriculture/Livestock, Departments of Livestock and Veterinary Services, AI centres, semen distribution centres and field level AI Service points. It is also a useful resource for teachers and students in Faculties of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, and those involved in the training of AI technicians.
