Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal reproductive technologies have shown significant progress in recent decades, allowing for a huge genetic improvement, which is associated with higher numbers of embryos and pregnancies per unit of time. However, depending on the species and applied techniques, different success rates have been reported. Moreover, the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling the early stages of embryo development are poorly understood, as are the different aspects related to its cryotolerance and survival ability. This Special Issue aims to revisit the challenges and opportunities associated with advances in animal reproductive technologies, with a particular focus on the strategies to improve posterior embryo development and the birth of healthy neonates. The submission of original research articles and reviews that focus on various aspects of animal reproductive biotechnologies, including estrus synchronization and ovulation control, artificial insemination, oocyte maturation and fertilization, embryo production and transfer, gamete and embryo cryopreservation, semen and embryo sexing, diagnostic and prognostic tools, and novel technical/therapeutic approaches, is encourage.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
