Benefits
-
Embryo transfer significantly increases livestock reproduction
-
Older cows that can no longer carry out a pregnancy can still be beneficial to the breeder by providing ovules for embryo transfer
-
Embryos can be frozen up to ten years until they are later needed
-
Because of embryo transfer, it is no longer necessary to import cows, which can be a costly process
-
Allows breeders to better manage livestock pregnancies
-
Beneficial for the production of food |

Biotech Community
-
The International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) is a committee that has worked to reduce the costs of expensive testing for embryo transfer donors.
-
The committee also strives to provide a practical system in which livestock embryos can be safely transferred to surrogate carriers with a lower risk of disease.
-
The regulations and guidelines provided by the IETS have helped to organize and structure this growing field of science. |
