Embryo transfer can be a way of multiplying the offspring from your elite females.
The donor ewe is superovulated using hormones so that she produces more eggs than usual at a synchronised mating.
The complex timed programme usually takes 21 days with the donor ewe being AI’d on day 15 and the 6 day old embryos being flushed from her on day 21.
ERGEN veterinary teams specialise in embryo transfer in sheep and goats; they are highly experienced and can do embryo transfer large numbers of ewes/does daily, depending on your set up.
Up to 50 donor ewes/does can be collected for embryos and 200 recipient ewes/does can be transferred embryos by one vet per day
Conception rates of 65-75% are typical using fresh or frozen embryos
