What is Embryo Transfer? Embryo transfer is the removal of embryos from a super ovulated mare and the transfer of those embryos to less fertile, inferior, older mares

History of Embryo Transfer 1890 - rabbit embryos were transferred from donor rabbits to surrogate/recipient rabbits 1930 - the first bovine (cow) embryo was successfully collected - popular practice by 1950’s, but surgical method only 1964 – non-surgical method of embryo collection - used AI tools to perform, procedure based on AI 1972 - first successful equine embryo transfer was reported widely used mid 1980’s

Embryo Transfer Facts Embryo transfer is the most widely used assisted reproductive technique for the mare 80% recovery of fertilized eggs 65% pregnancy rate for transferred embryos

Embryo Transfer (ET) Procedure 4 Basic Steps: Superovulate the Donor Mare Synchronize the donor and the recipient Embryo flush Embryo transfer

Step 1 of ET Superovulate Donor Mare Hormone Therapy Superovulation – The process of releasing many eggs at once all eggs come from same mare Hormone Therapy Progesterone: Maintains pregnancy and prevents the estrus cycle Prostaglandin: Controls estrous cycle - same hormones occur naturally in their reproductive system

Step 1 Continued Why superovulate? To produce as many viable eggs as possible To increase the chances of pregnancy To utilize all mares so that the maximum number of foals can be produced Which mares would you superovulate and which ones would you not? Superovulate the donor – superior quality, younger Recipient - older, subfertile, undesirable characteristics

Step 2 of ET Step 2 – Synchronize Donor and Recipient   Step 2 – Synchronize Donor and Recipient Photoperiod Manipulation Short Cycle - expose to artificial lighting to trick them into estrus Hormone Therapy Progesterone Prostaglandin hCG: Causes ovulation - many shots given in combination to initiate onset of estrus Synchronize 2 recipients per donor - can’t always guarantee the embryo will take therefore double your chances Ovulation of recipient and donor must be within 12 hours recreates same hormonal levels the embryo is used to Why synchronize the mares? The donor’s environment should be duplicated To ensure survival of embryo *Which one would you synchronize the other to? Why? Synchronize the recipient to the donor

Step 2 Cont. Synchronize 2 recipients per donor can’t always guarantee the embryo will take therefore double your chances Ovulation of recipient and donor must be within 12 hours recreates same hormonal levels the embryo is used to Why synchronize the mares? The donor’s environment should be duplicated To ensure survival of embryo *Which one would you synchronize the other to? Why? Synchronize the recipient to the donor

Thinking Question Which one would you synchronize the other to? Why? Synchronize the recipient to the donor

Step 3 of ET Step 3 – Embryo Flush Embryos graded 1 – 4 Remove embryos by flushing with sterile solution Flush 7-8 days after insemination   Embryos graded 1 – 4 1:Excellent 2:Good 3:Poor 4:Extremely Poor *Based on the embryo grades – which ones would you transfer? Why? Transfer grades 1 and 2 only because they are most viable and will develop healthy offspring Why wait 7-8 days? Size and development of embryo

Step 4 Step 4 – Transfer of Embryo Similar to AI Surgically or Non Surgically Similar to AI A tube containing the embryo is inserted into the uterus, the embryo is pushed out and will attach to the lining of the uterus When the recipient delivers the foal, whose genes are being expressed? Only the donor mare and the stallion. The recipient mare is simply housing the embryo

Thinking Questions Compare and contrast AI with embryo transfer. Compare – both use insemination gun, pressurized system, sterile tools, enter the vagina and empty into the uterine body. Contrast – ET deals with embryo, AI is simply sperm; ET uses excess fluids; ET uses extra tools and has more methods i.e. surgical/nonsurgical Which would you prefer as a breeder surgical or nonsurgical? Why? - personal choice
