| dc.description.abstract | The world's population and its demand for food, including animal products, is growing
constantly and is higher than ever before. Besides that, problems like animal welfare and
environmental protection are getting more and more important. Further the Sex of Newborn
farm animals is one of the most important aspects in animal breeding and genetic progress.
All these aspects lead to the desire to be able to influence the sex of newborn animals ideally
before artificial insemination. Flow cytometry turned out to be the best suited technology for
sex sorting today. During the past decades many advancements and improvements in this
technology led to the development of commercially available sexed AI straws used by the
cattle industry. Sexed semen products for other species are developed as well. | en_US |
