Artificial Insemination
A license issued by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is required to practice artificial insemination of domestic animals within the state of Idaho. Artificial insemination is regulated through Title 25, Chapter 8, Idaho Code, “Artificial Insemination of Domestic Animals–License to Practice” and IDAPA 02.04.03, “Rules Governing Animal Industry,” Section 200.
Practicing artificial insemination without a license is a violation of Idaho Code and may result in administrative action by ISDA. In order to obtain a license, an applicant must complete and submit an artificial insemination application, enclose a copy of their Certificate of Training, pay the $25.00 initial license fee, and pass a written test with a grade of 75% or higher. Arrangements can be made to take the Idaho Artificial Insemination Exam at a local County Extension Office and can take up to three hours.
Annual renewal fees are $5.00, due on or before the 1st day of July of each year. Any license not renewed by the 1st day of October will be canceled. If a license is canceled, the reinstatement fee is $25.
