A paracervical method for non-surgical transfer of bovine embryos

Seventy-six day-8 bovine blastocysts were transferred by a paracervical non-surgical process to determine its feasibility as an alternative method of bovine embryo transfer. Forty-seven of the 76 transfers resulted in pregnancy (62%), as determined by rectal palpation at 45 to 90 days of gestation. This indicates that embryo transfer via the paracervical method is a viable alternative to surgical and non-surgical transfer in cattle.
