Biotechnologies Applied to Animal Reproduction Current Trends and Practical Applications for Reproductive Management

Editors Juan Carlos Gardon I Katy Satue,

We are aware that in the last decade reproductive technologies in veterinary medicine have progressed considerably, providing high profitability to livestock farms. This book aims to provide basic and applied information on the most used reproductive technologies in bovine, equine, and porcine species for academics, scientists, and veterinarians dedicated to reproductive clinics. This work contains three main sections for each animal species and covers a wide range of applications of biotechnology in animal repro-duction.

Therefore, the motivation for editing a comprehensive volume on advances in biotechnology arose from a growing awareness of recent advances in reproductive and postpartum management, reproductive ultra-sound, sperm management, egg retrieval, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and certain clinical aspects, such as endocrinology and robustness of reproductive systems. The authors are recognized researchers from several countries who, beyond the theoretical foundations, have a deep practical knowledge of the topics dealt with in this work.

This volume is the culmination of the efforts of several researchers and scientific fellows from around the world, and they are all known and respected at different frontiers of research in reproductive biotechnology. We sincerely believe that the book will prove to be a useful contribution not only to science, but also to the general public interest.

We express our gratitude to all the contributing authors and to all the members of the international review panel who helped us enormously with their contributions, time, critical thoughts, and suggestions to produce this peer-reviewed and edited volume.
