Note

  • For most applications embryos are collected sometime between fertilization and implantation, usually after migration to the uterus. Surgical recovery is the only practical means of obtaining embryos that are located in the oviduct. In cows and horses, nonsurgical collection can be repeated an unlimited number of times on an individual donor without reducing her subsequent fertility. (Source : INRA)
