Abstract

Artificial insemination in superovulated bovine embryo donor females is a critical moment in the process of obtaining embryos in vivo, hence the great importance of the subject and around which various studies have been carried out such as: where the semen should be deposited in artificial insemination, relationship of the moment of ovulation with insemination or number of inseminations necessary in superovulated cows. This work analyzed the effect of the presence of cervical fluid at the time of fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in superovulated bovine embryo donors on the quantity and quality of embryos obtained at the time of collection, taking as reference the corpora lutea, oocytes-embryos (ovarian structures), fertilized oocytes, freezable embryos and transferable embryos (according to: International Embryo Transfer Society IETS) in the collection, where after analyzing the results it was found that the presence of cervical fluid at the time of TFAI in Bos indicus cross embryo donors (Bos taurus crossed with Bos indicus), is related to good embryo quality.
