In vitro production (IVP) of embryos and associated technologies in cattle have shown
significant progress in recent years, in part driven by a better understanding of the full …

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 …

Global cattle genetic market is experiencing a change of strategy, large genetic companies,
traditionally recognized in the artificial insemination field, have also begun to operate in the …

Direct transfer (DT) of cryopreserved embryos to recipients facilitates on-farm application.
We analyzed a new freezing/thawing (F/T) procedure for in vitro produced (IVP) embryos …

The oviduct was long considered a largely passive conduit for gametes and embryos.
However, an increasing number of studies into oviduct physiology have demonstrated that it …

There are still immense differences in the quality of in vitro produced embryos compared to
their in vivo generated counterparts. These differences include a higher sensitivity of in vitro …

Objectives were to use meta-analytic approaches to compare slow-freezing (SF) and
vitrification (VF) methods of cryopreservation on in-vitro (n= 12,211) and in-vivo (n= 3473) …

Vitrification and slow freezing are the two commonly used embryo cryopreservation
methods. In most studies, vitrification of intact embryos has proven superior in several …

The aim of this study was to develop an in-straw dilution method suitable for 1-step bovine
embryo transfer of vitrified embryos using the Cryotop vitrification-straw dilution (CVSD) …

Vitrification is an alternative to slow-rate freezing for cryopreserving bovine embryos.
However, this technology requires simplification if it is to be used under field conditions. The …
