Laboratory Production of Cattle Embryos Ian R. Gordon
Publisher: CABI




Livestock scientists from ILRI and the Clinical Studies Department of the University of Nairobi (UON) recently succeeded in breeding Kenya’s first test-tube calf using a technique called in vitro embryo production (IVEP). This book is devoted to technologies which are still developing but which are likely to take over from artificial insemination as the farmer's main tool to produce large numbers of high-quality calves. IVEP makes it possible to rapidly The difference is that while the traditional ET techniques involve more animals and are wholly done in the field, IVEP is undertaken in the lab and involves fewer surrogate animals in the field. Ovaries from gilts were obtained at an abattoir, placed in 0.9% (w/v) NaCl solution at 30–35°C and transported to the laboratory within 3–4 h of collection.

The main findings of the present study were that sperm selected by SLC were able to fertilize oocytes and the proportion of embryos developing to blastocyst was similar to the embryo production in their unselected counterparts .
