Artificial insemination technique (AI) forms the core of all falcon breeding programs which are intended to alleviate the pressure on wild populations since the adult birds of this species hardly copulate under captive situation (Bailey and Lierz, 2017).

Accurate assessment of avian semen achieved by Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) as compared to conven-
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
