Abstract
Technological advancement in animal reproduction is germane to improved animal productivity. The adoption of these advancements has heightened the supply of meat, milk and other animal products in developed countries. This review presents some improvements such as Artificial insemination, Computer assisted semen analysis, semen sexing and embryo transfer which has advanced animal productivity in the past years but are yet to be fully optimized in developing countries for various reasons. Factors ranging from lack of expertise to high cost of importing technology, unfriendly government policies and inadequate partnership between public and private entities among others were highlighted to hinder their adoption hence, the low output from livestock production in developing countries. Other technologies such as cloning, transgenesis and stem cells are yet to be restricted by ethics, high cost and low success rates and call for further research. It is thus highly essential for the specialist in Technical and Vocational Education and Training to research into domesticating some of these technologies for developing countries.
