    Sexed Semen

    We transfered 2,300 sexed in-vitro embryos during 2008. The pregnacy rate was 40%. You inseminate the oocytes 24 hours after they are collected with sexed semen, seven days later you transfer them into the recips. Cheers Lorenzo

Authorities of both countries have talked something (I was told) but it seems the US wants to negotiate other things in exchange (allowing US meat into Uruguay for example but we are Mad Cow Desease free and that...
