Embryo transfer in cattle was first developed in the 1970’s and 1980s to propagate the genetics of specific cows (donors) and bulls (herd sires). In a natural situation a cow can only produce one live calf per year because of the length of gestation. The average bull breeding by live cover will sire 15 to 50 calves per year depending on the length of the breeding season. With the use of artificial insemination, the number of calves a bull can sire has been greatly increased. Until embryo transfer was developed, the reproductive potential of the female had yet to be exploited. Once the techniques were developed to collect embryos and successfully transplant them into recipients to obtain pregnancies, the number of calves a cow can produce has also been increased.
