Over the last approximately 17 years freezing procedures have been developed allowing
high survival rates for nonsurgically collected bovine morulae and blastocysts. The vast …

Cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos is a crucial step for the widespread and
conservation of animal genetic resources. However, oocytes and early embryos are very …

Cryopreservation describes techniques that permit freezing and subsequent warming of
biological samples without loss of viability. The application of cryopreservation in assisted …

The benefits of oocyte and embryo cryopreservation originate from its ability to arrest all
biological processes and place cells into a state of suspended animation. Such interruption …

Day 7 bovine morulae and early blastocysts were randomly assigned to one of four
cryopreservation methods:(i) a modified conventional controlled slow freezing and stepwise …

Long term storage of porcine embryos would be worthwhile both for the preservation of
genetic resources and for exportation of genotypes around the world. Three methods are …

The preservation of the female portion of livestock genetics has become an international
priority; however, in situ conservation strategies are extremely expensive. Therefore, efforts …

Contents Cryopreservation of in vitro‐derived bovine embryos is a crucial step for the
widespread reproduction and conservation of valuable high‐merit animals. Given the …

The discovery of glycerol as an effective cryoprotectant for spermatozoa led to research on
cryopreservation of embryos. The first successful offspring from frozen-thawed embryos …

The aim of this study was to evaluate pregnancy and embryo survival rate of vitrified in vivo
produced Merino sheep and Criolla goat (morulae and blastocysts) embryos, using the …
