Which term describes breeding that happens when a male and female mate without equipment?
Estrus synchronization by hormones
Embryo transfer into recipients
Natural service with direct mating
Artificial insemination using collected semen
What is the main goal of estrus detection in female livestock?
Producing embryos in a lab
Preventing disease spread on farms
Identifying when a female is in heat
Choosing animals for desirable traits
Artificial insemination involves which core action?
Placing semen with specialized equipment
Allowing natural mating to occur
Transferring embryos into donors
Fertilizing eggs outside the body
Which phrase best defines semen in livestock reproduction?
Hormone mixture that triggers heat
Fluid containing sperm cells
Embryos ready for transfer
Eggs fertilized in a lab
What is the purpose of estrus synchronization?
Prevent infections during breeding
Select sires for genetic traits
Identify individual heat cycles
Cause females to be in heat together
Embryo transfer primarily moves embryos from which animal to recipients?
From synchronized recipients
From lab-created clones
From a male after collection
From a superior female donor
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is best described as:
Fertilizing eggs inside the uterus
Fertilizing eggs outside the body
Transferring semen by catheter
Detecting heat using behavior
Genetic selection in breeding focuses on:
Choosing animals for desirable traits
Synchronizing heats with hormones
Preventing disease transmission
Producing embryos in recipients
Biosecurity practices in breeding programs aim to:
Increase lab fertilization rates
Choose only superior donors
Prevent spread of livestock diseases
Enhance natural service success
Which method requires identifying heat before timing procedures?
Embryo transfer into recipients
Artificial insemination of females
Genetic selection of sires
Cloning to copy an animal

Embryo transfer protocols
Estrus synchronization hormones
Biosecurity quarantine rules
Artificial insemination equipment
Which statement about natural service is accurate?
It occurs through natural mating

Which option pairs correctly: method and where fertilization happens?
Embryo transfer — inside the body
