Abstract:Embryo transfer (ET) is an artificial reproductive technology used for the genetic improvement of cattle. High variation has been observed in superovulation (SPO) and embryo flush recovery, which appear to be influenced by donor cow genetics. Then, the objective was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the genes IGF1 and IGF1R associated with reproductive traits related to SPO response in dairy cows raised in a semiarid region. Sixty-four Holstein cows were subjected to SPO, artificial insem… Show more
