Artificial Insemination (AI) is an important tool in farm animals to maximize the use of genetically superior males and thereby insure rapid genetic improvement. The use of AI has been reported in camelids although insemination trials are rare. This could be because of the constraints include collection as well as handling the semen due to the gelatinous nature of the seminal plasma. In addition, all camelids are induced ovulators, the females need to be induced to ovulate before being inseminated. This review discusses the different methods of collection, evaluation, dilution, and preservation of semen in camels. Various methods for inducing ovulation in the female camels are also discussed as well as the different techniques and ideal timing of insemination.
