Sexed semen usage fraught with challenges of genetic nature

Semen application of sex sorted category is a new breakthrough in dairy sector that is being used on larger scale world over these days. Alongside dairy, this technology also has a scope to be implemented on animals like pigs, horses, camel, sheep, goats, dogs etc and even on humans. The aim of this technology in dairying is no doubt to increase dairy productivity by increasing selective herds of milch and meat animals. The high yielding milch animals are produced with the objective to produce more females of them because more female animals definitely mean more milk. Also in case of beef cattle more males are preferred for obvious reasons and this technology tends to promise the production of more males too. The advantages are well known and this is the reason that this technology of the production of sex sorted semen has come to find a very important role in the field of dairy farming which has become very competitive in terms of economic survival and efficiency and farmers all over have been fascinated by this methodology which certainly promises them more profits and return on their investments. But like all other things in the world, this technology has also come to display diverse outcomes and very interesting facts have come to light in the recent years; many of which have genetic colors and overtures. Such is the aim of the present review to judge the impact of such a development on animals very close to human race in economic and social relationship and also to study these effects on the present and future progenies of these animals and humans of course. The ramifications are vivid and of course obvious and deserve to draw the attention of one and all in the domains of science and social life.
