ABSTRACT=Dairy farming makes a substantial contribution to both food security and revenue generation, but because artificial insemination (AI) technology is not widely used, genetic improvement is still restricted. The present state, limitations, and potential of artificial insemination in Tanzania’s dairy industry are examined in this review. The review combines national data, project reports, and existing literature to assess the AI program’s success, identify important limitations, and highlight potential avenues for long-term, sustainable genetic advancement. For policymakers, researchers, and practitioners looking to tackle the intricate problems presented by AI in Tanzania’s dairy production industry, this paper offers insightful information by synthesizing previous studies and identifying knowledge gaps. Good mitigation techniques are essential for offering a workable route to boost AI adoption, accelerate genetic improvement, and enhance the productivity and profitability of Tanzania’s dairy sector.
