The developmentof in vitro embryo production (IVP) methodology to maximize genetic gainand animal production at lower cost is a challenge of the research and it hasbeen studied for many years. The possibility to produce, in commercial scale,embryos from ovum pick up methodology may increase the benefits of the use ofartificial insemination (AI) for its decisive role to maximize the genetic progressbetween generations, according to the requirements of each genetic improvementprogram and livestock capacity. Different technological routes are associatedto IVP, both for zootechnical interest species and for endangered species.
