This book describes the fundamentals of microfluidics and fabrication methods of microfluidic devices that can be adopted for animal-assisted reproduction. It presents microfluidic methods for sorting highly fertile spermatozoa. This book also describes the application of microfluidics in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. It discusses the use of microfluidics in sperm sexing and the cryopreservation of animal gametes and embryos. Lastly, the book examines the potential opportunities of microfluidics in infertility diagnosis, sperm selection and guidance, oocyte selection, insemination, and embryo monitoring.

Dr. Vinod Kumar Yata is an interdisciplinary researcher working at National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India. Previously, he worked as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biotechnology, Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology Jalandhar, Punjab, India. He has received his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. His research interests are focused on interdisciplinary areas of nanotechnology, microfluidics, animal biotechnology, cancer biology, and bioinformatics. He has developed a microfluidic device for the separation of live and motile spermatozoa from cattle semen samples. He has published several research papers in peer reviewed international journals and edited three books.
