Abstract:
The impact of cryopreservation in assisted reproduction is increasingly appreciated. Cells, oocytes, and embryos preserved under ultralow temperature can endure storage for indefinite time with almost no alteration in their metabolic and genetic components. Advances in cryopreservation and its applications to preserve cells, gametes, and embryos offer opportunities in conservation of biodiversity and dissemination of elite livestock germplasm. This chapter describes the vitrification for cryopreservation of livestock embryos.
