“…Based on literature, in the Philippines setting only few researches has been conducted about farmers perceptions about AI which needs attention to some researchers and agricultural sectors to assess the status of AI in the Philippines. Using artificial insemination (AI) as breeding method has the ability to maximize the use of superior sires increases the success rate of conception (Schook et al, 2014). But unfortunately, only few livestock growers applied AI technology.…”

“…Animal biotechnology began more than 8000 years to modify and enhance production of livestock. Since animal domestication, many technologies have been developed to make breeding easier, to obtain desirable qualities of offspring and produce more offspring using advance reproductive biotechnology such as artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo flushing and cloning (Schook et al, 2014). Biotechnology had and has always have major impact on animal breeding and genetic progress (Gengler & Druet, 2006).…”

This study investigated the perceptions of Meranao farmers in Lanao del Sur province about reproductive biotechnology, specifically AI. A cross-sectional descriptive survey employing a mixed-method design of a qualitative-quantitative methodological triangulation was employed in the study involving 203 participants (farmers). The selection of the participants was based on purposive sampling and snowball techniques. Furthermore, the principle of saturation was also applied in the collection of data. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive, correlational statistics, and variance through SPSS version 16. Findings revealed that Artificial Insemination (AI) is not usually known and practice by the livestock raisers in Lanao del Sur. Most of the farmers has no knowledge about AI and it is not promoted in their municipality. Farmers adoptions of AI is influence by different factors such as their lack of knowledge resulted to some misconceptions about. However, findings also showed that they are willing to adopt AI as long as they are well educated about it. The farmers profile such as age, gender, educational attainment, livestock raise and years of experience in raising livestock significantly influence to their perceptions on AI. It is also shown that there was a significant difference on the perceptions of the farmers towards their awareness and acceptability of AI, and their perceptions about the status and prospect of AI in the province. Based on the findings, it shows that the farmers have no knowledge about AI but they are willing to be trained and adopt the technology as long as they will know about it. Farmers perceptions towards AI in terms of awareness, acceptability, status and prospects are directly influenced by their profile such as age, education, livestock raise, number of livestock and the years of experience in rearing livestock. This implies that, if they will be exposed to trainings and seminars about AI they can learn the technology and be willing to adopt. As such, this study designed a training program to educate the farmers about AI.

“…Additionally, rabbits are used as bioreactors to produce pharmaceutical proteins and in biotechnology practices like AI to enhance meat, fur and transgenic rabbit production (Dimitrova et al, 2009). There is growing demand to use genetically engineered or sorted sperm cells to upgrade the flock genetics, but processing technologies deteriorate semen quality (Schook et al, 2014). In this perspective, a minimally invasive technique is required, allowing deposition of minimal number of sperm cells to provide maximum fertility.…”

Artificial insemination (AI) is the first biotechnology used to enhance/improve the livestock production and genetic potential.At present, it is still being used with fresh or frozen semen to disseminate genetic material of superior males (Rodriguez-Martinez et al., 2013). Generally, three methods of AI, vaginal, trans-cervical and laparoscopic, are practiced in the domestic animals. Vaginal (VAI) and trans-cervical insemination methods (TCAI) are more commonly practiced compared with laparoscopic insemination method in small and large ruminants (Casali et al., 2017). In small ruminants, the deposited sperm cells with conventional techniques (VAI, TCAI) must travel longer distance to reach the point of fertilization. Therefore, their main constraint is to use higher number of sperm cells (100-300 million) per insemination and inability to inseminate deeply due to tortuous shape of cervix in sheep (Paulenz et al., 2002(Paulenz et al., , 2005.Fertility can be compromised in both vaginal and trans-cervical insemination methods, especially when limited numbers of sperm cells are used (Fair et al., 2005; Sanchez-Partida et al., 1999). The laparoscopic method not only allows depositing sperm cells directly into the uterine horn, but also into the oviduct; thus, higher fertility rate can be achieved by using small number of sperm cells (Anel et al., 2005). Currently, laparoscopic artificial insemination (LAI) is being extensively practiced in small ruminants, especially
