Small Ruminant Assisted Reproductive Technologies - Part 1

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in small ruminants is a quickly developing field of veterinary medicine with growth being attributed to technological advancement and producer demand. In domesticated goat and sheep species, ART can be broken down into the following components: estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization, and semen cryopreservation. We will discuss these different facets of ART in detail and how to successfully implement these technologies into your practice.
