This book links past, present and emerging scientific research on reproductive biotechnology, including biological aspects of boar spermatozoa in the male, and the female environments. Also discusses common laboratory and artificial insemination techniques.

Latent knowledge in the field of pig reproduction is vast but scattered, making it difficult to take in all information at a glance. Moreover, nascent branches in biotechnology cannot grow if deprived of roots. The book Boar Reproduction: Fundamentals and New Biotechnological Trends links the past, the present and the emerging scientific research fields on reproductive biotechnology, offering a rigorous but easy to follow compilation of topics, from old favorites to the latest advances.

The book is organized in three parts. The chapters of the first and second part cover various biological aspects of boar spermatozoa within the male, and within the female environments, respectively. The most common laboratory and artificial insemination techniques are discussed in the third part. As an additional feature, some chapters focus on the basis of a technology transfer to bring research expertise from basic science to the market, making the information provided in this book suitable for academic, research and other professional applications.

Provides the classics as well as the latest advances in boar reproduction Research expertise from basic science to the market Comprehensive manual for scientists and professionals Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
