摘要: Livestock farming is an important source of animal based food products and income in Nigeria. To improve livestock production the country, technologies such as artificial insemination have to be understood transferred properly by Extension Agents (LEA) farmers for proper adoption. This technology has been applied some years a number countries using appropriate extension approaches. Advantages claimed practice are lessening risk spread disease livestock, reduction sterility increase fertility, facilitation improvement quality, economy management. Against this background paper highlights benefits AI technology, factors limiting against program Nigeria, suggest methods disseminating strategies that should put place make sustainable increased productivity.
