Abstract

The embryo transfer program is a utilizable management tool which recently became available to the dedicated seeds tock breeder. In my opinion the success or failure of embryo transplant revolves around him. We have always had a good supply of these people around and embryo transplant has been around for at least two decades. Then how come it was only developed within this decade? The reason is simple. There was not sufficient interest to fund it until the new breeds were introduced into North America ten years ago.

New Breeds, Inc.'s experience reveals that embryo transplanting is a good, practical management tool when coupled with good animal husbandry, shrewd merchandising, acceptable phenotype, and superior genetics.
