artificial insemination
Medically assisted fertilization
Artificial insemination is the introduction of sperm into a female's reproductive tract by means other than sexual intercourse, typically using a syringe or similar instrument.
The technique is used in human fertility treatment and extensively in animal breeding to propagate desirable traits: The prize bull's semen was used for artificial insemination across hundreds of farms.
