| dc.description.abstract | Cryopreservation is a process that preserves intact living cells, tissues, organelles with the use of very
low temperatures, extending their lifespan. The ability to cryopreserve sperm cells has facilitated the
accessibility to semen and for decades has played a major role in dairy cattle production, thanks to its
ability to increase the rate of genetic selection. Additionally, frozen semen has been a catalyst for the
development of reproductive techniques. Although this technology has been a milestone in
reproduction, it has several limitations that to this day, influence pregnancy rates. These limitations are
associated with a combination of molecular and biochemical changes that occur due to the different
stages of cryopreservation. | en_US |
