Thawing & Implanting Bovine Embryos Training Course
Course Info
Our 1.5-day (12 hour) Thawing & Implanting Bovine Embryos Course delivers comprehensive, hands-on instruction in “best practices” for transferring frozen/thawed IVF & MOET produced cattle embryos. The course is designed for dairy or beef cattle breeders, and large animal or mixed-practice veterinarians who intend to receive and transfer frozen embryos produced through IVF or MOET. Students are also taught how to palpate ovaries to detect corpora lutea (CLs). We also go over synchronization protocols for your Recipients.

- Which recipient heat dates match best for IVF, and for MOET embryos
- Which recipient heat dates match best based on embryo stage of development
- Understanding the information recorded on the “Embryo Freezing” form
- Proper completion of embryo transfer paperwork and documentation using International Embryo Technology Society guidelines

Key Benefits
- Matching number of embryos collected to number of recipients prepared is unlikely, so without frozen embryos either prepared recipients or embryos are wasted. However, stored frozen embryos will solve these problems.
- Frozen embryos open up an additional market for the astute cattle breeder
