Is the new method of artificial insemination for sheep, which involves placing a sterile medical sponge inside the uterus, then inseminating the ewe and giving a "double" injection to produce twins, permissible or forbidden? And is additional feed allocated for the ewe?

There is no شرعية (-compliant) objection to using this method unless it causes harm to those who consume sheep meat. There is no harm in using the sponge to clean the ewe's uterus and using the "double" needle to regulate the ovulation process.
