embryo transplanting

[Anonymous]

Has anyone ever taken an embryo transplanting course? I am looking into take one. I took an AI course in May and did AI at home on our purebred Limousin farm and am also AI cows and heifers everyday at the dairy barn I work at. But I was just wondering if I should be looking into taking this course or not? We do at least 5 cows each year at home, we get a vet to come out and do them.

If you do AI, it won't be hard to learn to implant the embryos yourself. There are several good courses out there.

I would leave the flushing to the experts. You are not going to do enough of your own to get the experiance to do it well, or to justify the expense of the equipment you will need. And you don't want to hire out to flush for others, because you will run into legal and liability issues.
