Biotechnologies Applied to Animal Reproduction

<p>This comprehensive volume focuses on recent trends and new technologies used in the management of</p><p>reproduction in major farm animals focusing on both males and females of bovine equine and porcine</p><p>species. With chapters written by scientists who specialize in their respective topics the volume</p><p>presents a selection of different technologies that have been developed to assure reproductive success</p><p>by improving reproductive efficiency generating germplasm banks and maintaining genetic diversity in</p><p>cattle horses and pigs.</p><p>In the last decade reproductive technologies in veterinary medicine have progressed considerably</p><p>providing high profitability to livestock farms. This book provides basic and applied information on the</p><p>most used reproductive technologies in bovine equine and porcine species for academics scientists</p><p>and veterinarians. The volume discusses reproductive and postpartum management reproductive</p><p>ultrasound sperm management egg retrieval artificial insemination embryo transfer nutrition</p><p>genetics and certain clinical aspects such as endocrinology and robustness of reproductive systems.</p>
