Answer :
Final answer:
For artificial insemination in sows, the AI rod is most commonly inserted into the cervix, not the oviducts, uterine horns, or uterus. This method facilitates the introduction of sperm directly into the female reproductive system to achieve pregnancy. Thus the correct option is option c) Cervix
Explanation:
In the process of artificial insemination in sows, the AI rod is most commonly inserted into the cervix. The uterus in pigs is uniquely structured, consisting of two prominent uterine horns leading into oviducts near the ovaries. The purpose of inserting the AI rod into the cervix is to allow for the introduction of sperm into a female's reproductive system to achieve pregnancy.
The cervix serves as an entry point for the semen to reach the uterus and subsequently the oviducts where fertilization commonly occurs. Although the uterine horns and oviducts are critical for the transportation of oocytes and the site for fertilization, for AI in sows, the cervix is the targeted site for semen deposition, facilitating the sperm's journey towards the eggs.
