Embryo transfer in Indian standardbred mares

Abstract

This study was conducted for 3 years. A total of 81 standardbred mares were used as embryo donor. Single embryo collection regime was attempted in 117 times using 3 liters of Gold Flush, Line, Euro Flush, and 95 embryos were recovered with recovery rate of 95/117=81.19% (embryo /flush). 48 embryos were transferred into synchronized recipients (+1 to –2 days) and the overall pregnancy rate at day 24 achieved was 50% (24/48). The birth of foal on 6 February 2006 through embryo transfer was reported first time in South Asia.
