In vivo and vitro embryo production in livestock species - cattle, sheep, goat, swine, horse - cryopreservation and embryotransfer. Micromanipulation of embryos, preimplantation genetic diagnose. Development of new innovations for MOET programs Application of new biotechniques for establishing the strategic genbanks - spermcell cryopreservation (obtained from ejaculate, or epididymis), COC cryopreservation (obtained by OPU, LOPU or postmortem), cryopreservation of in vivo/in vitro developed embryos, cyrosperesvation of fibroblast cells, founded fron ear skin samples. Reproductive biology studies in horse Development of methods for ex situ in vitro gene conservation programs.
