after having a long conversation with a dairy farmer i know the other day bout ai's. he was describing to me how he has had embryo transplants done on his dairy cows before. and i was wondering when this is going to start in dogs.or has it already? basically from what i understand is that a hefer recives an already fertilzed egg and she basically becomes a surrgate mother of the new born calf. she plays no part in the gentics game she just does the labor and pops out the new born.
allthough technially much more complicated then what i might have made is sound. a cow is giving i dont know say drug "x" to induce a large poplation of eggs,more then normal.the drug "x" is giving for a serval weeks prior to suspected heat cycle.and then when the heat cycle is appearant she is taken off of drug "x". semen is then deposited in whatever way you like,natural,ai. since the cow has so many fertile eggs,this results in neumours sperm and egss becoming zygotes. once the zygote attachts to the plencta wall i belive the are then considered embryos.the embryos are then flushed from the utreus. and stored untill given to another cow in her heat cycle.
in simple terms you have a bunch of calfs just wating to be born. the whole trying to get the cow pregant process is already done.just implant the embryo and viola,its a dun deal.ok am i making it sound to simple here,maybe,probably,i dont know really.anyways i was wondering when this is going to start taking place in the dog world for a truly talented female that you just couldnt get enough pups out of? or has it already started and isnt popular? or is in not possilbe in canines for some reason or another. i just thought that since horses and cattle have set the stage for ai's,and the canine world following if this is going to follow suit as well? courious an your responses?
