Synopsis: This Volume 1 of a two-volume topical collection highlights reproductive biotechnologies applied to males and females of different animal species. Organized in five parts, you will find a detailed review of the most relevant topics for reproduction management in equines, cattle, swine, and small ruminants. The authors discuss genomic selection, the use of ultrasound, sperm evaluation and conservation, oocyte retrieval, embryonic development, and significant clinical aspects such as stress and physiological impacts, including thermal conditions. Each contributor brings an own perspective, knowledge, and writing style, resulting in the latest research results, advances, and current trends in assisted reproductive technologies. The volume also includes case studies and hands-on examples to provide readers with real-life applications. The practical approach will enhance the learning experience and differentiates this work from mainly theoretical literature. Specifically tailored to the professional audience within the field of assisted animal reproduction, this book will update veterinarians, researchers, animal breeders, and advanced students. By presenting innovative techniques and approaches not widely covered in other works, this volume offers new perspectives and ideas for reproductive management.
