Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current therapies in theriogenology are diverse, addressing a variety of issues such as breeding and conservation to address infertility and subfertility in animals. In farm animals, limitations on antibiotic use and the development of antimicrobial resistance require innovative therapies to alleviate the adverse effects of reproductive disorders. Regenerative medicine has also gained ground in veterinary medicine in recent years. The innovative therapies developed in veterinary reproductive medicine serve as a strong model for human reproductive medicine. Stem cell therapies and autologous platelet-rich plasma therapy are two of the therapies gaining more ground in veterinary reproductive medicine. The hidden aspect of infertility in animals is immunoinfertility, which occurs due to the blockage of receptor sites by antibodies formed against hormones, sperm, and ovum. Immunoinfertility in animals can be treated by giving females sexual rest and using various reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, and embryo transfer. In dairy cows, current estrus and ovulation synchronization methods still need improvement. Future improvements require new reproductive strategies to minimize additional interventions and maintain acceptance by veterinarians. Thus, new therapies in animal reproductive medicine are currently a challenge to improving animal reproduction. This Special Issue aims to address the new challenges related to therapies and treatments in animal reproductive medicine.
