Abstract
This review describes the state of the art in cryopreservation of spermatozoa, oocytes and animal embryos. We have analyzed methodical approaches for the effective low-temperature preservation of the genetic resources of animal world and specified the procedures of cryopreservation of animal gametes and embryos. The history of efficient cryopreservation for animal reproductive cells and embryos was described. To date the germ cells and embryos of many laboratory, agricultural and wild animals have been successfully cryopreserved, nevertheless there is still pending the issue with the oocytes and embryos of some species of birds, fi shes and mammals. The paper discusses the ways for developing the methods to preserve the genetic material of those species that have not been successfully cryopreserved yet.

Highlights
This review describes the state of the art in cryopreservation of animal spermatozoa, oocytes and embryos
The purpose of the work was to compile information on the cryopreservation of reproductive cells and embryos used for the conservation of the genetic material of laboratory, domestic and wild animals
Для создания криобанков гермоплазмы всего животного мира нашей планеты необходимо дальнейшее развитие и совершенствование методов криоконсервирования
Summary
This review describes the state of the art in cryopreservation of animal spermatozoa, oocytes and embryos. We have analyzed methodical approaches for the effective low-temperature preservation of the genetic resources of animal world and specified the procedures of cryopreservation of animal gametes and embryos. To date the germ cells and embryos of many laboratory, agricultural and wild animals have been successfully cryopreserved, there is still pending the issue with the oocytes and embryos of some species of birds, fishes and mammals. The paper discusses the ways for developing the methods to preserve the genetic material of those species that have not been successfully cryopreserved yet.
