The success of an embryo transfer ultimately depends on the recipient female. No matter how well embryos are produced or collected, results fall short without selecting the right recipient to carry that embryo to term and deliver a viable, marketable calf.
Cross Country Genetics works closely with clients to understand their cow herd and recipient program in detail. Recipient selection is based on careful evaluation of age, postpartum interval, breed, body condition, overall health, nutrition, and synchronization strategy. These relationships extend year-round, allowing for proactive planning and giving each embryo the best possible opportunity to result in a live calf.
Clients may contact any Cross Country Genetics clinic location to inquire about recipient housing. In-clinic recipient programs allow our team to manage nutrition, synchronization, and transfer protocols on-site. This approach is designed to maximize the use of fresh embryos and optimize transfer timing for the best possible outcomes.
