ABSTRACT
Artificial insemination (AI) is the most widespread reproductive technique used in porcine. This chapter provides firstly relevant information about the workflow involved in porcine AI, from the collection of boar ejaculate and seminal doses preparation to the sperm deposition in the female by AI devices and spermatozoa journey toward the oocyte. Secondly, we summarize new issues and future perspectives trying to increase the porcine AI efficiency, such as new fertility biomarkers, improving the composition of extenders used for semen dilution, or studying new methods for sperm selection as the use of magnetic nanoparticles to remove damaged spermatozoa.
