Why AI could fail even after several attempts

Nuru International Dairy programme Manager in charge of Breeding George Kimani prepares to inseminate a cow at Kehancha, Kuria East Migori County. (Sammy Omingo, Standard)

Dear Dr Othieno,  I need your help. my cow has been served three times without success. Last week, I called a vet to examine the cow but he said all results were negative meaning my dairy cross is fine. What could be making it not to conceive? I am using Artificial Insemination since I want to improve its genetics but I am now considering going for a bull which I am told rarely fails.
