Une notion à prendre en compte en insémination artificielle bovine est l'utilisation de semence sexée. Par des méthodes de tri des spermatozoïdes «mâles» et des spermatozoïdes «femelles», on obtient des doses de sperme pour l'insémination contenant principalement des gamètes porteuses du chromosome X (doses femelles) ou des gamètes porteuses du chromosome Y (doses mâles).
