The development of complex technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) needs many years of experiments,sometimes it is necessary to compare several species,to understand how to create a suitable in vitro environment for oocytes,sperm and early embryos.The physiological function of gametes and gamete interaction are recently evolved traits,which must be analyzed in the context of each species.In the past 40 years after Louis Brown was born,IVF technology has made great progress and has been applied in a variety of domestic and non domestic animal species all over the world. However,this does not mean that the technology is completely mature or satisfactory.There are still many problems to be solved and some programs to be optimized.Since IVF technology was allowed to be commercialized,the development of cow IVF has attracted special attention.Its scale of use is comparable to that of human IVF (millions of newborns).The combination of genomic selection,sex identification and cryopreservation of calves and even embryos is pushing IVF into a new era.This paper reviews the success and shortcomings of IVF in cattle in the past 40 years, and describes the challenges to be overcome in the next few years.
