Artificial insemination is the most important technical practice designed to improve the genetic structure of low yielding breeds of animals. The objective of this study is to determine the socio-economical and administrative factors affecting artificial insemination in dairy farms. The information gathered from the 81 dairy farms in Gevas District of Van Province comprise the main data of this study. t test were used in order to determine statistical differences of some variables between farms practicing and non-practicing artificial insemination. The probability rate of applying artificial insemination were estimated through logistic regression method. The results revealed that there existed a positive relationship between the artificial insemination practice and the farm land quantity (decar), yearly milk production quantity and being a membership of the cooperative. On the other hand, the relationship between the artificial insemination practice and experience duration of the farmers and the distance between the farm and the district center were found to be negative.
