An intense interest exists internationally in investigating in vitro procedures for the
maturation, fertilization, and culture of immature oocytes from domestic mammalian species …

In vitro bovine embryo production (IVP) has improved tremendously during the past decade.
Repeatable and reliable systems for mass production of embryos for use in cattle breeding …

Laparoscopy was used to collect 1618 in vivo-matured bovine follicular oocytes.
Inexperienced laparoscopists encountered difficulties such as intestine perforation or failure …

Today, although not efficient enough to replace multiple ovulation and embryo transfer, in
vitro embryo production for small ruminants is a platform for new reproductive technologies …

This review summarizes the latest advances and main limitations for the implementation of
in vitro embryo production programs in sheep and goats. We describe the laparoscopic …

Contents In vitro embryo production is possible in the horse both clinically and for research
applications. Oocytes may be collected from excised ovaries post‐mortem, or from either …

After the first successful transfer of mammalian embryos in 1890, it was approximately 60
years before significant progress was reported in the basic technology of embryo transfer …

In vitro fertilization in cattle was first reported by Bracket et al.(1982) using surgically
recovered oocytes that were matured in vivo and surgically transferred as zygotes to the …

Recent advances in technologies associated with assisted reproduction in domestic animals
have been remarkable. In cattle, immature oocytes can be developed to the blastocyst stage …

Simple Summary In vitro embryo production from oocytes collected by laparoscopy has the
potential of producing more offspring from genetically superior females of ruminant species …
