Bovine embryo transfer technology is the pursuit of managing genetics for a more preferred calving outcome. This technology has allowed for great genetic advancements by increasing selection pressure or decreasing generation interval. Embryos can be derived by 2 methods. In-vivo embryo collection allows the donor dam to grow and develop the embryo. In-vitro produced embryos require fertilization and development of the embryo in a lab setting. This is a discussion of the concepts of embryo production and transfer. These methods have not changed drastically over the years; however, their application continues to evolve. Embryo transfer provides the opportunity to make more of the desired bovine babies.
