As a result of achievements in genetics and in technology of artificial insemination` cattle breeders received a powerful instrument of improving animals productive qualities, the possibilities of selecting stallions with a high genetic potential of productivity were expanded` and the rate of genetic improvement of entire populations was accelerated. Sperm from stallions is taken on an artificial vagina. Evaluation of the quality of sperm is carried out for 3 consecutive days. Insemination of mares is carried out at artificial insemination stations. 10 days after ovulation the mares are checked again with a probing stallion. If the mare for 35–40 days has not shown signs of sexual hunting again then it is followed by rectal test for foal.
