Here at St Boniface Vets, we are now offering a cattle IVF (in vitro fertilisation) to our clients as well as a conventional embryo service.  IVF should be considered as an alternative to MOET (multiple ovulation embryo transfer) for the following reasons:

• A larger number of embryos can be generated in a shorter time frame as an egg collection can be made every two weeks
• Eggs can be collected from juvenile heifers
• Eggs can be collected from pregnant heifers during their first trimester
• Eggs can be collected from animals with a range of reproductive disorders
• Less semen is used per fertilisation
• Several bulls can be used giving greater scoped for genetic improvement
• The latest science minimises the high birth weights that have previously been linked with this technique
