In pig production Artificial insemination is used extensively. AI for pigs offers many advantages in different fields (health management, genetic improvement etc.) which are clearly better than the ones found in natural breeding.
The establishment of different kinds of AI centres has lead to great technical improvements and thereby increased the importance of AI in recent years. Other advances in the field of pig reproduction include techniques such as semen sexing, Deep Uterine Insemination, and the freezing of sperm. With all these new technologies come the demand for quality control and traceability.
