Accomplishment of the biotechniques embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization on caprine reproduction

Abstract

The goat business is presenting a world improve cycle, which has been intensified especially in developing countries. On this context, it is needed to apply assisted reproduction techniques with the aim to increase the reproductive and productive efficiency of cattles. In spite of some techniques has existed far from 50 years ago, in the last ten years it was a huge improvement of them and the development of other ones. Currently, some techniques already present large use at farm such as artificial insemination, semen sorting, embryo transfer and cryopreservation and embryo in vitro production. These techniques contribute to accelerate the genetic gain in superior animals such as allow to overcome some obstacles of reproductive efficiency. On this way, the objective of the present work was to perform a brief review of some biotechniques applied to goat reproduction. Keywords: Goat business, Assisted reproduction, Biotechnology.
