A webinar by KMPV UBUR, FKH Unair, highlighted the benefits of Artificial Insemination (IB) in poultry breeding. Dr. Tatik Hernawati from Unair's Department of Veterinary Reproduction stressed that IB can efficiently use less male birds for selective breeding, leading to genetically superior offspring. It also enables crossbreeding of species that are naturally infertile, producing uniform offspring quickly. Other advantages include disease transmission prevention, fertility issues solution, longer sperm storage, and cost-effective male maintenance.

POULTRY INDONESIA, Surabaya – The regeneration process in poultry can be accelerated by using the Artificial Insemination (IB) method. This is as conveyed by Dr. drh. Tatik Hernawati, M.Sc. as Lecturer of the Department of Veterinary Reproduction, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FKH), Universitas Airlangga (Unair) in the AVICLASS 1 webinar. The event, which carries the theme "Maintain the Welfare of Poultry for the Future" was held by the interest group KMPV UBUR (Poultry and Birds), FKH Unair, online via the Zoom application, Sunday (5/6). According to Tatik, IB is an artificial mating technique by inserting the sperm of male birds into the reproductive tract of female birds that are producing. Where the sperm has been diluted with physiological NaCl. Tatik said there are a number of advantages in using the IB method for regeneration. For example, the use of males is relatively less, thus enabling selection and crossbreeding between parents with superior genetic quality. This can ...
