Embryo transfer (ET) is an increasingly important tool for improving production efficiency and accelerating genetic progress in beef cattle. As with any technology, the success of ET is influenced by several factors. One may argue that pregnancy outcomes following ET should be greater than those obtained with insemination, considering that ET bypasses several critical steps…

While estrus synchronization can eliminate the need for estrus detection, identifying females in estrus can help cattle producers further explore the benefits of artificial insemination and embryo transfer.…
