Correct answer: A. To place sperm near the uterine horns
- A. To place sperm near the uterine horns
- B. To avoid contact with the rumen
- C. To increase ovarian size
- D. To prevent milk letdown
Explanation
Deposition in the uterine body places sperm beyond the cervix and near the reproductive tract where they can move toward the oviduct. The rumen and milk letdown are unrelated to the site of insemination.
