Assisted reproduction techniques in horses

Abstract

This thesis explores the diverse techniques of assisted reproduction in horses. It offers a comprehensive overview of established and emerging methodologies for overcoming fertility challenges, enhancing genetic diversity, and expanding breeding possibilities. A comprehensive analysis of methods such as sperm collection, sex determination, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, oocyte recovery under ultrasound guidance, in vitro maturation and fertilisation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), cryopreservation, and cloning is presented.
