Bovine Embryo Transfer Service

Bovine Embryo Transfer ServiceThe practice is one of a small number in the UK to offer a full embryo transfer service including flushing, freezing and implanting of embryos.

The facilities at Hollin Rigg have been adapted to enable cows to be brought to the surgery for this work but �fresh transfer� can also be carried out on-farm when requested.


Non-clients are welcome to avail themselves of this service.

A unique �repeat breeder� service operates whereby payment is based on a positive pregnancy diagnosis only. An embryo is implanted into problem cows 7 days after oestrus. Usually a beef cross embryo is used but dairy breed embryos are also available. All enquiries are welcome - please ask to speak to Mr John Watkinson.

An ultra-sound scanner is used in all aspects of bovine fertility work including embryo transfer.
