Note publique d'information : This book addresses the impacts of current and future reproductive technologies on
our world food production and provides a significant contribution to the importance
of research in the area of reproductive physiology that has never been compiled before.
It would provide a unique opportunity to separate the impacts of how reproductive
technologies have affected different species and their contributions to food production.
Lastly, no publication has been compiled that demonstrates the relationship between
developments in reproductive management tools and food production that may be used
a reference for scientists in addressing future research areas. During the past 50
years assisted reproductive technologies have been developed and refined to increase
the number and quality of offspring from genetically superior farm animal livestock
species. Artificial insemination (AI), estrous synchronization and fixed-time AI,
semen and embryo cryopreservation, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET),
in vitro fertilization, sex determination of sperm or embryos, and nuclear transfer
are technologies that are used to enhance the production efficiency of livestock species.
