Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advancement of research in canine and feline reproductive science, techniques such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, gamete and embryo cryopreservation, and genetic screening are increasingly integrated into the management of pet reproduction. This Special Issue aims to disseminate the latest scientific advancements in dog and cat reproduction while underscoring the clinical and practical implications of emerging biotechnological tools in reproductive medicine. Additionally, it examines the impact of urbanization, nutritional factors, psychological stress, climate change, and seasonal variations on reproductive function. The goal is to foster collaboration and innovation at the intersection of reproductive biology, veterinary medicine, and biotechnology.
This Special Issue will focus on the following:
(1) The integration of biotechnological innovations with clinical applications;
(2) Investigating the environmental and lifestyle factors affecting the reproductive health of companion animals;
(3) Diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for reproductive tract infections and other reproduction-related conditions in companion animals;
(4) Contemporary contraceptive and population control methods, including novel non-surgical approaches and the long-term safety of hormone therapies.
We look forward to your contributions.
