Extract

Embryo culture or manipulation can severely influence fetal development resulting in increased gestation length and unusually large offspring (Walker et al, 1996). The aim of this study was to compare the effect of transferring in vivo or in vitro produced bovine embryos on gestation length, calf sex, birth weight and calving ease.
