Abstract :
The application of the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) in wildlife is crucial not only for conservation and management purposes, but also to address important clues in human reproduction. Nevertheless, the knowledge of reproductive biology of deer is still limited to few species, thus the successful application of ARTs. This review deals with reproductive biology and ARTs mainly focused on male deer providing a deep insight into the most recent literature published on the following topics: sperm collection, storage, and artificial insemination.
