SEXING OF EMBRYOS

Embryo sexing in animals has the advantage to increase the milk yield or to increase meat production. The production of preferred sex is done either by sexing the sperm or by sexing the embryos. In case of sexing sperm, it could be used both in artificial insemination as well as in the in vitro production of embryos whereas the sexing of embryos could be done either in vivo produced or in vitro produced embryos prior to their transfer to recipient animals.
