inseminated

Artificially made pregnant

Inseminated means impregnated by the introduction of semen into the reproductive tract.

The term applies to both natural and artificial processes: The veterinarian artificially inseminated the cow.

More broadly, to inseminate is to implant seed or introduce something into a receptive environment—though this figurative use is rare.
