Equine Embryo Transfer: Advancements In Selective Breeding And Genetic Preservation
Equine embryo transfer involves the transfer of fertilized embryos from a donor mare to a recipient mare, allowing for the preservation and transfer of desirable genetic traits. It offers potential benefits in selective breeding, improving genetic diversity, and preserving valuable bloodlines. Embryo transfer requires careful donor and recipient mare selection, proper oocyte retrieval and embryo collection, and meticulous embryo transfer procedures. Successful embryo transfer depends on optimal uterine conditions, embryo quality, and appropriate veterinary care throughout the process, leading to increased foal viability and genetic advancements in the equestrian industry.
