• Bovine pregnancy rates
• Embryo metabolism
• Metabolism profile
• In vitro fertilization
• Embryo culture conditions
• In vivo embryo

Although the metabolismof early bovine embryos has not been fully elucidated, several publications have addressed this important issue to improve culture conditions for cattle reproductive biotechnologies, with the ultimate goal of producing in vitro embryos similar in quality to those developing in vivo. Here, we review general aspects of bovine embryo metabolism in vitro and in vivo, and discuss the use of metabolic analysis of embryos produced in vitro to assess viability and predict a viable pregnancy after transference to the female tract.
