Applied Veterinary Reproductive Biotechnology delivers an authoritative and contemporary exploration of modern cellular and molecular technologies applied to animal breeding and theriogenology. Authored by senior research scientists from the ICAR-Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, this comprehensive text synthesizes cutting-edge laboratory techniques with actionable field applications to optimize livestock reproductive performance. It serves as an essential reference for veterinary theriogenologists, reproductive physiologists, animal biotechnologists, and postgraduate researchers working to enhance genetic improvement and fertility outcomes in farm animals.
Key Topics Covered:
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Practical protocols for semen collection, advanced cryopreservation, estrus synchronization regimens, and artificial insemination optimization.
- In Vitro Embryo Production (IVEP): Step-by-step methodologies for transvaginal ultrasound-guided oocyte aspiration (ovum pick-up), in vitro maturation, fertilization, and blastocyst culture.
- Advanced Micromanipulation & Cellular Technologies: Principles and workflows of somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning), embryo sexing, sperm sorting, and intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
- Genomic & Molecular Tools in Theriogenology: Practical integration of molecular markers, genetic disease screening, and biotechnological interventions designed to improve herd fertility and preserve elite animal germplasm.
