Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer is the collection of ‘flushing’ of embryos from donor animals with the subsequent transfer of embryos into recipient surrogate mothers or frozen for transfer at a later date.

The measure of any Cattle Embryo Transfer Service is how successful it is in putting calves on the ground. In these terms Ai Services have a proven record with the company offering a successful Embryo Transfer services for over 20 years. It provides the flexibility and convenience required at a price that is realistic.

Embryo Transfer provides many benefits and advantages;

• Benefits all herd owners; Beef, Dairy, pedigree and commercial
• Maximises on breeding by ensuring continuity of the best bloodlines in the herd.
• Gives access to superior genetics. Enables importation of embryos and avoids cost of the movement of live animals.
• Accelerates genetic gain by producing up to 20 progeny per year from each of your best cows
• Increases capital return by making available animals of genetic merit for sale.
• Can be of benefit to a problem breeder. An outstanding cow with a poor breeding history may yield embryos when flushed.
