The yield and cell viability of bovine <i>in vivo</i> recovered embryos in relation to season of flushing

Effect of rectal temperature on efficiency of artificial insemination and embryo transfer technique in dairy cattle during hot season

“…When compared to timed artificial insemination, fresh in vitro embryos improve pregnancy rates during heat stress conditions (Al-Katanani et al 2002), especially in high-producing animals that are already at risk of lower conception rates (Demetrio et al 2007). At the same time Stadnik et al (2014) confirmed the effect of the season on the yield and quality of bovine in vivo recovered embryos, they found that significantly lower embryo yield as well as rate of transferable embryos were found during the summer months.…”
