Summary:

There has been a recent development of a non-surgical embryo transfer. The advantage to embryo transfer is it allows new genetics while maintaining a high health status, possibly upgrade the health status, allows national and international exchange of genetics, environmental adaptation, less intensive medication and vaccination, and more. Non-surgical also answers the potential question of animal welfare in regards to the surgical methods. However, further research is needed in the areas of making the system pathogen-free, better preservation techniques (cryo-preservation isn’t quite adequate), embryo sexing, and embryo collection (as of now slaughter is the only method, which is unacceptable). Collective research aims to get ns-ET into a usable form for a breeding system. Today it is targeted for complete genetic packages for the nucleus or sub-nucleus level.
