What do farmers use embryo transplants for?
Farmers use embryo transplants to improve the genetic traits of their livestock and increase the rate of reproduction. The process allows farmers to select desirable traits such as fast growth, disease resistance, and high milk production to be passed on to the offspring. By transferring embryos from cows with superior genetics to those of lesser quality, farmers increase the overall standard of their breeding stock over time. This technique offers numerous advantages to farmers aiming to optimise livestock production.
