About

Embryo transfer in sheep has become a powerful tool to improve and multiply superior genetics in both stud and commercial animals. It has also proven a very popular way of trading in genetics worldwide. By means of freezing or chilling methods embryos can be transported or stored and implanted in other locations.

The process involves selecting donor ewes and rams of good genetics and sound fertility. These animals need to go into a positive management program to produce a good number of quality embryos. The ewes will be treated with a follicle stimulating hormone to induce multiple ovulations.
