Abstract

Bovine reproduction is one of the most important areas within production systems, as it allows for improved genetic efficiency, optimized reproductive rates, and strengthened herd productivity. However, this process requires proper management of donors, recipients, semen, and embryos, as well as the correct application of reproductive biotechnologies to achieve successful results. During the internship, activities were carried out at both the Las Palmeras Farm and the Villa Marina Experimental Farm, where the different stages of reproductive management and the laboratory process associated with semen evaluation and cryopreservation were identified and implemented. At Las Palmeras, follicular aspirations, embryo transfers, and timed artificial insemination (TAI) synchronizations were performed, resulting in good oocyte retrieval and pregnancies in the treated recipients. In Villa Marina, activities focused on semen analysis using CASA, identification of morphological abnormalities, dilution, equilibration, straw packing, and freezing of bovine semen, estrus synchronization, timed artificial insemination (TAI), and reproductive monitoring using ultrasound. This entire process strengthened technical skills in animal reproduction, integrated theoretical knowledge with practice, and fostered an understanding of the importance of reproductive and laboratory management for the productive efficiency of bovine systems.
