The possible role of embryo transfer in pig breeding
Absztrakt
The embryo transfer is a reproductive technology which was initially just performed due to
research purposes. The goal was to transfer embryos from a genetically superior donor
female to a recipient with the aim of improving the genetic quality of the offspring.
Commercial embryo transfer in pigs is not yet done routinely like in ruminants or other
animal species, because most attempts involved a surgical intervention.
