Embryo Transfer (ET) is a reproductive technology and a popular tool to better utilize the genetic impact of a specific female. Dandy Acres Enterprises practices conventional ET by using hormone treatments to induce ovulation of multiple follicles. One week after artificial insemination (AI), embryos are flushed from the donor’s uterus and can be transferred fresh into a recipient female or frozen for later use.
