This is one of fastest developing assisted reproduction techniques. It helps in improving the genetic value of the herd. It is performed on highest genetic value donors in order to increase the number of offspring per year. During the procedure, operator is using the OPU guide for ovum retrieval from the ovary under the ultrasound guidance. The quality of the oocytes is assessed under the microscope. Best cells are chosen for in-vitro fertilization. After few days the embryos are transferred to the recipients. The procedure is considered safe and can be repeated many times.
