-Assisted reproductive techniques (gamete cryopreservation, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and in vitro fertilization) allow to propagate small fragmented populations of wild endangered species or domestic breeds. There are the best way for producing several offspring from selected genitors in order to avoid inbreeding depression. However, few mammalian species have been well studied for their reproductive biology whereas huge differences have been observed between these species. Furthermore, materials, methods and experimental designs have to be adapted for each case and each limiting factor (wildness, poor quantity of biological material, disparate locations). Genome resource banking is currently arising and the most applied reproductive biotechnology remains artificial insemination. Assisted reproductive techniques currently developed in domestic species (intracytoplasmic sperm injection, nuclear transfer) may offer new opportunities for the propagation of endangered species. endangered species / artificial insemination / cryopreservation / in vitro fertilization / embryo Résumé -Biotechnologies de la reproduction appliquées aux mammifères en voie de disparition. Les techniques de reproduction assistée (cryoconservation des gamètes, insémination artificielle, transfert embryonnaire, fécondation in vitro) permettent d'accroître des populations, parfois dispersées géographiquement, d'espèces sauvages ou domestiques en voie de disparition. Ces méthodes sont le meilleur moyen pour produire plusieurs descendants à partir de géniteurs sélectionnés de façon à éviter la consanguinité. La biologie de la reproduction est connue pour peu d'espèces de mammifères alors que de grandes différences ont pourtant été mises en évidence entre ces espèces. En outre, les matériels, les méthodes, ainsi que les schémas expérimentaux doivent être adaptés à chaque cas et pour chaque facteur limitant (animaux sauvages, peu de matériel biologique, populations dispersées). Des banques génétiques sont actuellement en voie de constitution mais la technique la plus utilisée reste l'insémination artificielle. Cependant, des biotechnologies de la reproduction en cours de mise au point chez les animaux domestiques (injection intra-cytoplasmique de spermatozoïde, transfert nucléaire) pourraient offrir de nouvelles possibilités pour l'accroissement de populations menacées. espèces menacées / insémination artificielle / congélation / fécondation in vitro / embryon Reprod.

“…This method has several advantages since it is non-invasive, represents pooled value of hormonal activity and facilitates long-term assessment of ovarian status and reproductive activity [6,14,27]. RIA of fecal steroid metabolites was the method of choice used to monitor reproductive function [12,23,36]. However, due to the hazardous nature of radioactivity, ELISA has successfully emerged as an alternative to RIA.…”

“…Anaesthesia inhibits sperm transport after vaginal AI in several felids, canids and mustelids (Howard 1999). The deposition of semen into the uterus can be troublesome, and may need endoscopy in smaller hoofed species (Monfort et al 1993). Development of appropriate speciesspecific tools to visualise male and female reproductive anatomy by ultrasonography presents unique difficulties (Hildebrandt et al 2000).…”

Abstract. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been used successfully in humans, domestic and laboratory species for many years. In contrast, our limited knowledge of basic reproductive physiology has restricted the application of ART in companion animal, non-domestic and endangered species (CANDES). Although there are numerous benefits, and in some cases a necessity, for applying ART for the reproductive and genetic management of CANDES, the challenges encountered with even the most basic procedures have limited the rate of progress. In this foreword we discuss the status of conventional ART, such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilisation, as well as their benefits and inherent difficulties when applied to CANDES. It is upon these techniques, and ultimately our knowledge of basic reproductive physiology, that the success of emerging technologies, such as those described in this special issue, are dependent for success.Development of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for domestic species and humans has been ongoing for several decades and is routine practice in many situations. Welldeveloped technologies in domestic species include artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). Unfortunately, this wealth of knowledge developed for commercially important livestock species, biomedically relevant model species and human infertility treatment cannot be directly applied to other species, as significant species-specific challenges exist. Our knowledge of the basic reproductive physiology of many companion animal, non-domestic and endangered species (CANDES) is limited in comparison. This is partly due to scarce and costly animal resources, lack of economic demand and inadequate research funding. However, there is a need for reproductive knowledge in CANDES to meet an increased interest in breeding companion animals for pleasure and recreation, propagate valuable genetic models for biomedical research (Songsasen and Wildt 2007), and manage ex situ populations of endangered species (Pukazhenthi and Wildt 2004). Although ART have numerous potential applications, we must remind ourselves that the success of any ART is completely dependent on our knowledge of basic reproductive physiology, in any species. Thus, detailed descriptions of reproductive cycles (seasonal patterns, ovulatory mechanisms, etc.), structural anatomy, and gamete and embryo physiology must be collected in many, if not most, CANDES before advanced ART can be effectively used to significantly impact reproductive and genetic management.
