Abstract
Due to shrinkage of resources and increased demand for animal products, our global output of livestock products should be increased at a faster rate in the coming future. This objective can be achieved by using recent reproductive biotechnologies. These techniques can be used for the production of offspring from elite animals, which are infertile from standard breeding techniques. Therefore, this could play an important role in augmenting the productivity of dairy animals. This chapter deals with recent developments in the field of reproductive biotechnologies, which includes artificial insemination, embryo transfer, marker-assisted selection (MAS), semen sexing, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), in vitro embryo production (IVEP), ovum pick up (OPU), embryo sexing, embryo cloning, embryo cryopreservation, production and multiplication of transgenic animals, and stem cell technology.
