Observe and interpret the
natural behavior of
agricultural animals and relate
these behaviors to production
practices yielding more
content, healthier, and
productive animals.
Essential Question/
Key Question
What steps are necessary to
artificially inseminate a beef
cow?
What steps are necessary to
artificially inseminate a beef
cow?
What is a reproductive tract
score and pelvic
measurement?
What are the essential
functions in caring for
livestock/poultry?
Lesson Opener
What is AI?
Quick review of parts and
tools used in artificial
insemination.
Introduction of guest speaker,
Dr. Lee Jones from the
University of Georgia vet
school.
What are the parts and
functions of the female
reproductive system of a beef
cow? What steps are
necessary to artificially
inseminate a beef cow? What
is a reproductive tract score
and pelvic measurement?
Quick review of information
from Monday-Wednesday.
Procedures/Strategies
Review reproductive parts
and tools used in artificial
insemination from last week
and week before. Discuss
what tomorrow’s practice AI
class will look like.
Practice using AI techniques
on reproductive tract. Each
student will be allowed to try.
Dr. Jones will be evaluating
our school heifers before
artificial insemination is done
next month. Dr. Jones will
evaluate the maturity of the
heifers’ reproductive tract
and will demonstrate how to
calculate a pelvic
measurement.
Quiz over female reproductive
tract, AI techniques and tools,
pelvic measurements and
reproductive maturity scoring.
Lesson Summary
Review of process and steps
involved.
Overview of process.
Go over what Dr. Jones
evaluated.
Review quiz.
Demonstrate, discuss and give
students hands-on experience
in the day to day operations
of raising livestock and
poultry (i.e. feeding,
watering, administering
vaccinations, checking for
health problems, fencing
issues, halter-breaking calves,
transferring chicks to floor of
barn, removing manure,
monitoring manure for signs
of health, collecting eggs,
giving animals (bunnies)
exercise time, witnessing
changes in female bodies over
time during pregnancy )
Wrap up of daily activities and
why they are essential to a
farming operation.
