Great Indian Bustard, endangered species, hatches chick through artificial insemination

A chick of endangered Great Indian Bustard was born through artificial insemination in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, officials said. The process involved collecting the sperm of 3-year-old male bustard and inseminating a female. The chick was successfully hatched after the female laid an egg on September 24. "It is a major breakthrough in our effort to save the bustards," an official said.
