A Present Vision for Artificial Insemination of Certain Farm Animals in Egypt
Öz
It is well known that one of the major limitations in the development of farm animals in Egypt is the extremely low reproductive efficiency. As a result, horizontal expansion would be impossible for dairy animals in Egypt. Therefore, such as in developing countries, artificial insemination (AI) programs are one of the most important options for fast development and genetic improvement in animal breeding studies in Egypt. Meanwhile, the proposed genetic improvement of buffalo milk production is being accelerated using an AI network. According to official statistics, Egypt has only two AI centers for selected buffalo sires, serving four AI units. Based on the current status of AI studies of farm animals in Egypt, this review spots light on recent progresses in the breeding of farm animals such as buffalo, camel, sheep, and goat, based on a comprehensive scientific experience of more than a decade to get a better food security in Egypt.
