9. What are at least three advantages of embryo transfer?
ANS:Answer
should include at least three of the following: production of many more offspring from
desirable cows than would be possible if they had to carry each embryo to term before producing
another; transfer of desirable genetic traints of donor cows carried in lower-quality host cows; proving
productivity of dams and sires more quickly; extending productive life of injured female who can no
longer carry offspring to term; development of ability to import and export desirable traits with
embryos when animals cannot be imported or exported due to disease; developing faster genetic
improvement in the herd.
