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