Extract

The use of Embryo Transfer (ET) in HF cattle breeding is now a routine technique. It provides an opportunity to increase the contribution of the dam to genetic progress in the population. The aim of this paper is to characterise the cows chosen as embryo donors, and to detect any changes in donor characteristics.
