IVF Embryos

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is currently one of the most efficient techniques to speed up genetic improvement in bovines. The combination of the top female genetics with the best bulls in the market are likely to result in a high genetic value offspring.

There are several benefits that comes along with the adoption of the IVF technique such as:

• Multiplication of top genetics in large scale.
• Shortening the generation interval
• Increased productivity
• Improved reproduction numbers
• Use of the bottom genetic females as recipients
• Standardization of crossbreeding bloodlines
• Genetic selling

Beyond the genetic improvement, there are other components that a farm can benefit from. For example, during warmer seasons where the conception rates of dairy cows tend to go down, the usage of frozen embryos can help to bridge the gap caused by heat stress. The same strategy can be applied on beef herds aiming to produce as many pregnancies as possible in the beginning of the breeding season.

Embryo Production in the U.S.

Last year ABS has produced over 100K embryos in the United States. This entire volume was shared across 3 from the top 10 U.S. dairies that are massively using embryos as part of their breeding strategy.
