Brazil has several breeds of domestic animals that have been developed from breeds brought by Portuguese colonists at the time of discovery. Over the centuries, these breeds have been subjected to natural selection in environments in which they live to the point of presenting specific characteristics to adapt to these conditions. They are known as “creole", "local" or "naturalized".

The Innovation Network in Animal Reproduction adds skills among the different teams that work in the area of animal breeding biotechnology at Embrapa with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of animal production chains in Brazil. Among the objectives, the following stand out: creation of new technological platforms in this area, transfer of technologies generated by the component projects and consolidation of Embrapa as a reference institution for the formation of public policies related Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
Brazil is now a world reference in the area of animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.

The general objective is to develop and adapt methods and protocols that make the preservation of germplasm (gametes and embryos) of different species of domestic animals of economic interest more efficient and safe. To do so, it has five action plans, ranging from the search for animal welfare indicators to estimate seminal quality to advanced transcriptome and proteome techniques to identify molecular changes that affect the response to cryopreservation. They are: PA1 (management), PA2 (animal Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
