Current status of embryo technologies in sheep and goat
Y Cognie, G Baril, N Poulin, P Mermillod - Theriogenology, 2003 - Elsevier
This review presents an overview of the technical bases of in vivo and in vitro embryo
production in sheep and goat. The current limitations of in vivo production, such as variability
of response to the hormonal treatment, fertilization failure in females showing a high
ovulatory response, and the importance of premature regressed CL in the goat, are
described along with possibilities for improvement. The new prospects offered by in vitro
embryo production, by repeated ovum pick-up from live females and by juvenile breeding …
