Embryo cryopreservation techniques have developed in order to preserve embryos obtained from superovulated cows. Research has followed trying to cryopreserve embryos and oocytes manipulated under in vitro conditions due to the low survival rates obtained with traditional cryopreservation methods. The different methodologies are discussed in the present review.
