Disease Control and Biosecurity
Safety is the primary driver for veterinary AI in 2026. Artificial insemination is the most effective way to prevent the spread of "Venereal Diseases" (sicknesses passed through mating).
The "Clean" Barrier: Because there is no physical contact between the male and female animals, the risk of spreading infections like Brucellosis or various reproductive viruses is almost zero.
Screened Semen: Every batch of semen in 2026 is tested in a lab for health and quality before it is ever sold. This ensures that only the healthiest genetics are passed on to the next generation.
Biosecurity: For large farms, using AI prevents the need to bring "outside" bulls onto the property, which protects the entire herd from being exposed to new germs or parasites.
