[0002] An embryo is a young organism that develops within the first two months of pregnancy. The early development of the blastocyst, embryo, and embryonic development is a continuous process. During the somite stage, all three germ layers undergo changes. The ectoderm forms a groove along the dorsal midline, called the neural groove, with its banks known as the neural crests. In livestock farming, embryos of cattle and sheep are often cryopreserved to ensure the transmission of superior genes, genetic research, and stable conception during estrus. This ensures their basic activity and subsequent use.
