- Summary
- COI synopsis: How do you miniaturise pedigree cattle for export? Why not just send an embryo? Two recent scientific breakthroughs have now been brought together to make that possible: how to safely and non-surgicaly extract embryos from the uterus and how to freeze that embryo. On the far side of the earth, it can be de-frosted and implanted into any non-pedigree foster mother resulting in a perfect pedigree calf.
