“…Moreover, before the application of the multiple ovulation treatment and to improve the superovulatory response, GnRH agonists or antagonists can also be administered [59]. These latter strategies intend to inhibit the final stage of follicular development [75], suppress-ing the existence of follicles more than 3 mm [85] and simultaneously implementing the development of small follicles [86].…”

Due to economical and scientific limitations, sheep embryo reproductive technologies are less commercially applied than in other animal species. However, it is very clear that, in the near future, those techniques are expected to have a central role in animal production as a consequence of genetic and reproductive demands. One drawback is that results obtained after sheep embryo cryopreservation are unattractive for commercial purposes. It is expected that a successful cryopreservation of sheep embryos can push forward all other reproductive biotechnologies in this species, such as multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), artificial insemination, or in vitro production of embryos. This paper tries to discuss the current and future perspectives of cryopreservation of in vivo-and in vitro-produced sheep embryos concerning advantages and limitations for its practical use and possible solutions for improving methods to allow a higher survival rate of cryopreserved embryos.

“…The study of their effects in human beings is impeded for both technical and ethical reasons. Domestic animals may be an alternative; sheep are considered a good experimental model for evaluation of human reproductive endocrinology and ovarian biology (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Moreover, evaluation of progestogens is also of interest for application in veterinary practice.…”
