Abstract
This chapter introduces the nuts and bolts of the maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) and early embryonic mortality (EEM) in livestock. The factors and genes involved in MRP and EEM are discussed to unravel the complex intricate molecular and cellular dialogues between the conceptus and uterine environments. By the end of the chapter the strategies for augmenting early embryo survival are explained. The advent of state-of-the-art transcriptomic technologies allows a holistic analysis of mechanisms involved in signaling between an embryo and its maternal environment before implantation. This chapter focuses on maternal recognition of pregnancy and genes controlling maternal recognition of pregnancy events that will facilitate the development of optimal reproductive management strategies and paradigms for augmenting embryo survival.
