Pricing Embryo Transfer Services

Abstract

Embryo transfer provides the livestock producer a method to: 1. increase the sale of breeding stock from superior animals; 2. produce offspring from donors unable to maintain pregnancy; 3. produce sibs or identical twins (embryo splitting) for research; 4: eradicate disease as pseudorabies or brucellosis; 5. produce embryos for export and increase numbers of offspring from limited numbers of donor dams (as exotic cattle and zoo animals).
