Certaines techniques de reproduction assistée comme l'insémination artificielle, le transfert d'embryon et la fertilisation in vitro font depuis de nombreuses années partie intégrante des programmes d'amélioration des animaux d'élevage au Canada. Plus récemment, il est aussi devenu possible de reproduire ces animaux de manière asexuée, c'est-à-dire de les cloner. 3, record 2, French, - am%C3%A9lioration%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique%20des%20animaux
