Reproductive biotechnology in females – assisted reproductive techniques (ART)
This chapter is introducing the embryo transfer (ET) as basic technique of reproductive biotechnology including its history and development. After dealing with its use in animal breeding and in prevention of transmission of infectious diseases, the subject demonstrates the drugs, media and instruments used in superovulation, embryo recovery, cryopreservation and transfer of embryos. This part is followed by the “second generation” procedures like in vitro production of embryos, cloning and gene modification of animals, with their practical use, possibilities and limitations.

For the practical part it is needed to know the relevant theoretical aspects and the topics of the practicals. Students get the list of the topics at the beginning of the 3rd semester and it is on the website too.
