The objective of the study was to provide a review of sperm based sex selection/sorting in the livestock animals. The sperm sex selection play an important role in production of desirable sex animals. As in dairy industry need high mulching animals for continuing maintains of milk yield. Similarly in meat industry is also desire continuous supply of the male animals. Both above industry have high demand for their value added developed product in the market. Presently sperm sex selection technology available with us is very costly, required expert for handling equipment. It is patented technology hinder widespread application in the field. Several workers in the world have developed sperm sex selection methods. But none of the above is able to maintain repeatability and consistency in the sperm sex selection. Flow Cytometry technique is only commercial method till date. But, it further require lot of improvement in sorting efficiency, fertility ability and cost.
