Cattle remain at the forefront of many new developments in reproductive technology and what can be done for the cow today will later be applicable to other farm livestock and perhaps humans. This new edition reviews the considerable advances and issues in embryo production technology, based on reports since the first edition in 1994. This is a must-have volume for those who own the first edition, and an incredibly informative text.
Reviews of the Second Edition: "I am sure this book, again for this second edition, will be a great success and the author should certainly be commended to have made this effort."
- EAAP News
"I can only finish this review by congratulating the author upon the production of one of the best reference books I have ever seen."
- Agricultural Science
Reviews of the First Edition: "This book is very well written, explains all techniques in a concise but always clear way. Readers will get an enormous amount of information...The style is enjoyable and the book is an invaluable resource. It is, and will remain without doubt, the standard monograph in the field for many years."
