This paper discusses the potential use of biotechnology in the conservation and improvement of
indigenous animal genetic resources. National herds, mostly in the hands of the rural communities,
are made up mainly of indigenous breeds. Conservation of indigenous livestock must include
cryopreserva...

Vitrification is a cryopreservation technique that could be an important tool in the application of
reproductive biotechnologies in the 21st century. This review summarises recent efforts made in
cryopreservation methodologies of cattle embryos. To date, a great deal of effort and
experimentation...
