Ample literature covering various aspects of Veterinary Andrology and frozen semen technology is available but need for a book incorporating practical aspects of the subject was always felt for the students of andrology and semen biology and scientists working in the area. This book is aimed to fill this void in literature by providing insight into various applied aspects of veterinary andrology, frozen semen technology and artificial insemination with the help of relevant illustrations based on author's experience and research in the subject. Theoretical aspects of the subject have been deliberately omitted as ample literature on the topic has already been published. This book has been written to supplement the requirements of the scientists and Managers working in frozen semen production station, Semen Quality Control Laboratories, Andrological Diagnosis Laboratories and students of Andrology and Artificial Insemination. It incorporates the topics mentioned in syllabus for Practical course of Andrology and Artificial Insemination of undergraduate students of Veterinary Science. This will also be helpful to the graduate students of Animal Reproduction or Veterinary Andrology as a teaching aid.
