Insemination

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Insemination is the introduction of sperm into the female uterus of a mammal or the oviduct of an oviparous (egg-laying animal) during copulation with another animal.

Artificial insemination is when it is done by some means other than copulation.
