[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1365556, member: 25884"] IVF is very popular with dairy cows now and is alot easier on the cows so that is one reason so many are using it. I have one farmer that gets nearly the conception that he got with traditional flushes but most do not. I think alot of it has to do with where it is being done and the cow being flushed. This particular dairyman ships embryos all over the world. He does get better conception rates with fresh, and does not recommend freezing the sexed ones, but has done it on occasion. The recip cows have to be in very good shape and on the exact same timeline; that is where there is as much problems in his opinion as with the actual eggs. They have to be number 1's to be considered for freezing. He will implant the 2's and even the 3's if he has the recips available. [/QUOTE]
