Artificial Insemination Technique (AIT)

The primary aim of the Artificial Insemination Technique (AIT) is to provide biotechnological skilled services of modern animal husbandry studies and techniques that help in improving the productivity of livestock. Furthermore, this technique ensures to provide a route towards poverty alleviation, particularly in rural areas.  AIT at Ziauddin University is a 6-month program that would professionally train candidates in technical skills for advising farmers on a correct breeding plan. Semen can be easily transported; allowing multiple females in different geographical locations to be inseminated simultaneously, and semen can be stored for longer periods of time. Artificial insemination allows males to produce more offspring. One can choose only a few best males for use as parents, increasing the selection intensity. Furthermore, because males can have more offspring, their offspring can be used in a progeny test program to more accurately evaluate the genetic value of the male. Finally, individual farmers can use artificial insemination to increase the genetic pool with which his or their animals can be mated, potentially decreasing the effects of inbreeding. Male animals often grow to be larger than females and can consume relatively larger amounts of feed. Infected, male animals are often more strong, powerful, and potentially ill-mannered and thus require special housing and handling equipment. The benefits of more intense selection must be balanced against the negative effects of decreased variation. Further, the objectives of the diploma include imparting technical skills that would enable students with the skills of assisting and advising farmers to improve reproductive health by suggesting artificial insemination. Educate and initiate awareness programs for locals on efficient animal breeding. Enhance working opportunities independent of livestock assistants.

Graduates of the Artificial Insemination Technique (AIT) program at Ziauddin University will acquire essential biotechnological skills to enhance livestock productivity. They will be trained in modern breeding techniques, semen handling, storage, and transportation for efficient artificial insemination. Students will develop expertise in genetic selection, reducing inbreeding risks while improving herd quality. They will also learn to advise farmers on breeding plans, reproductive health, and farm management. Additionally, they will gain skills to conduct awareness programs on efficient animal breeding, preparing them for roles as artificial insemination technicians, breeding specialists, and livestock farm managers in public and private sectors.
