Biotechnology Laboratory equipment for the application of in vitro fertilization (IVF), in cattle

The importance of the livestock sector in Ecuador is fundamental, since according to space data (INEC, space, 2011), 68% of people consume milk, cheese, yogurt at least once a day, for this reason, the Government as a policy of food sovereignt Communities, peoples and nationalities reach the self -sufficiency of healthy and culturally permanent foods. " However, according to the data of (INEC, space, 2012), the annual rate of growth of cattle growth in Ecuador was -2.30%, which will have an impact on compliance with the objective of ensuring food (milk and derivatives), healthy and quality. According to the study of genetic recovery (FAO;, 2010), 22% of the breeds of Creole cattle are at risk of extinction, a factor that is intensified by genetic absorption resulting from the introduction of specialized breeds from other places, which although they possess the genetic capacity of producing large amounts of milk, must have strict conditions of food, management and health. The reality of 95% of the UPAS of the region is different from those required by these foreign races (Agrocality;, 2012), this has generated an abandonment of these productive livelihoods, promoting the migration of the farmer to the city or other countries, this fact is promoting the disappearance of the bovine race called Creole, which is a descendant of the Iberian cattle, brought to America by the Spaniard Length of 500 years could reconform its genetic constitution to the different environmental conditions found in the new lands, emerging different eco -guns such as Ecuadorian Creole. This cattle adapted over time through a natural selection to the different regions has acquired important characteristic features such as rusticity, adaptability and resistance to diseases (Mendoza et. Al, 2002; Aguirre et. Al, 2011). Currently Creole cattle due to their characteristics of physical resistance, agility, shape and size of the horns has become a biotype that must be kept.
