Insemination is the deliberate introduction of sperm into a female animal or plant for the purpose of impregnating or fertilizing the female for sexual reproduction. The sperm is introduced into the uterus of a mammal or the oviduct of an oviparous (egg-laying) animal.
In mammals, insemination normally occurs during sexual intercourse when the male ejaculates into the female's reproductive tract, but insemination can take place in other ways, such as artificial insemination.
