Abstract

The report on the pregnancy rate of frozen-thawed bovine embryos in 94 heads of recipient was 52.1%. There was a higher survival rate of cryopreserved embryos in a group of heifer compared to cows (72.9 VS 38.6). The success rate of transferring embryos in Morula stage was higher than Blastocyst and Expanded Blastocyst respectively (64.7, 50.0 and 31.2).
