Lesson C4-4
Animal Reproduction Technology
Interest Approach
Place some of the equipment needed to
perform artificial insemination in the front
of the classroom. Ask students if they can
identify the uses of the various tools. Lead
the discussion into the first objective of the
lesson.
Objectives
Describe the process of artificial
insemination in common agricultural
animals, including the collection,
evaluation, extension, and storage of
semen.
Recognize signs of estrus, and identify
methods or technology used to detect
estrus in common agricultural animals.
Objectives
Determine the optimal breeding times and
optimal placement of semen deposition in
common agricultural animals.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
artificial insemination and natural breeding.
Define the process of estrous synchronization,
semen sexing, embryo transfer, cloning, and
genetic engineering.

E. Genetic engineeringGenetic
engineering is removing,
modifying, or adding
genes to DNA.
Genetic engineering
using gene-splicing or
recombinant DNA, along
with other reproductive
technology, will have a
great deal of impact on
future animal production.
Review
What are the steps involved in artificial
insemination?
What are some signs of estrus, and how is
estrus detected?
What are the various optimal breeding times
and placement of semen in common
agricultural animals?
Review
What are the advantages and disadvantages
of artificial insemination and natural
breeding?
What are the processes of estrous
synchronization, semen sexing, embryo
transfer, cloning, and genetic engineering?
