Tiivistelmä	Semen quality evaluation is a systematic assessment of male animal reproductive capacity, measuring sperm characteristics and overall breeding soundness. Developed by veterinary andrologists in the 1970s, the practice combines objective measures—sperm concentration, motility, morphology—with functional tests to predict fertility potential. Evaluation is essential for identifying suitable breeding animals, managing reproductive health, and ensuring successful artificial insemination (AI) programs.	Embryo transfer (ET) success evaluation is the systematic assessment of pregnancy establishment and calving outcomes following embryo implantation. Developed by reproductive physiologists in the 1970s-1980s, the method measures conception rates, pregnancy retention, calving rates, and calf viability to quantify the efficacy of ET programs and identify factors affecting outcomes. Success assessment is critical for optimizing ET protocols and managing investment in breeding programs.
