Sex Manipulation Technologies Progress in Livestock: A Review

Sex Manipulation Technologies Progress in Livestock: A Review

Sex manipulation technologies allow predetermination of the sex of animal offspring by altering the normal reproductive process. In livestock production, the difference in type and gender can translate into significant economic benefits, including alleviation of severe food shortages. In livestock,...
