Abstract: During the last decade of the 20th century, after high-speed development, decelerating of the rate of goose production of China. Apart from the limit of land use in animal husbandry, the harm of animal epidemics and the rising cost of manpower, the main reason is the lack of technology innovation and breakthrough. Goose artificial insemination technology(AI) is an advanced breeding technology. Improvement and application of this technology, not only can increase the gander breeding efficiency, but also can speed up the genetic progress of goose breeding. If the semen cryopreservation success, goose artificial insemination can also be used for conservation breeding and overcome the limits of time and space. Goose breeding backwardness and low reproductive rate is the bottleneck restricting the development of goose industry, the application of artificial insemination technique will push to great action of the goose industry development. Thus, this paper review the AI techniques developed over the years, including semen collection, ejaculate quality, semen storage and cryopreservation, and artificial insemination in goose.

Key words: goose; artificial insemination (AI); semen quality assessment
