Extract

The scope of this subject is so wide that no attempt will be made to deal with it in detail, but I will treat it in a general way. drawing largely from my experience at the Reading Centre.

The technical aspect of artificial insemination has now reached a stage of development where good results are almost a certainty, but more than good results must be achieved if an Artificial Insemination Centre is to be run satisfactorily. It is of great importance that a service be provided at an economic figure, and this can only be done if the administration and organisation of the Centre are on a sound business footing.

I intend to confine my remarks to the organisation of the individual Centre, and in case any of the audience are unaware of it, the national development of artificial insemination is controlled by the Minister of Agriculture under the Artificial Insemination (Cattle) (England and Wales) Regulations, 1943, and he has for his guidance the Central Advisory Committee.
