Application of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) to Clinical Practice
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past decade, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as oocyte transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and nuclear transfer (cloning) have become effective enough for clinical use. ART such as oocyte transfer and ICSI allow production of foals from mares that cannot provide an embryo by standard embryo-transfer procedures. For the equine practitioner, application of ART can range from simply sending ovaries to a laboratory after a mare’s untimely death to setting up complete oocyte and embryo culture systems in a practice. This paper outlines some of the increasingly common ways in which ART may be applied to equine clinical practice, including ongoing developments in embryo biopsy for pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and embryo vitrification.
