Highly effective way to multiply elite genetics

Embryo Transfer (ET) is the conversion of embryos into pregnancies. It is the transfer of fresh or frozen embryos into synchronised recipient cows offering a strategic and highly effective way to multiply elite genetics and accelerate herd improvement.

Why Choose Embryo Transfer?

  • Integration with your breeding schedule: ET can be timed to fit seamlessly with your herd management and calving plans, allowing you to optimise both donor and recipient performance without disrupting your routine.
  • Rapid increase in genetic potential: By producing multiple embryos from elite donor cows, ET accelerates genetic progress and helps you multiply the most valuable bloodlines in fewer breeding cycles.
  • Fresh or frozen embryo transfers: We offer both fresh transfers for immediate use and frozen embryos for long-term storage or transport, providing flexibility to suit your farm’s needs.
  • Performed by experienced veterinarians: All procedures are conducted by our skilled veterinary team, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare, precision, and success rates.

Why is Embryo Transfer important?

ET is an effective, reliable, and versatile solution for breeders who want to optimise herd genetics, increase productivity, and achieve consistent results. The success of embryo transfer is built on meticulous preparation, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of reproductive physiology. Evogene ensures precise synchronisation protocols, careful handling and efficient transfer procedures.

How many transfers can we do in a day?

At Evogene we can transfer 10-120 embryos per day depending on your location.

What happens after embryo transfer?

After embryo transfer, we aim to minimize stress for the recipients. They should stay in a stable paddock with good nutrition and low handling for about 5 weeks. During this time it is important to avoid all chemical treatments and unnecessary management practices.

Why make strategic recipient selection?

At Evogene, we strongly believe in strategic recipient selection. We recommend recipients are:

  • Healthy, fertile, early calving cows that are reproductively sound and confirmed not pregnant
  • Good (3/5) body condition score and on a rising plane of nutrition
  • 6-8 weeks post calving
  • Good temperament
  • Up to date with vaccinations (7in1, pesti, vibrio, 3-day)
  • Up to date with parasite control
  • Correctly synchronised with new progesterone devices and correctly handled medications
