Abstract

Embryo technology, including super-ovulation, embryo transfer and embryo nucleus transfer, was a well-developed technology in 20th century. It has been widely used in animal science and veterinary and boomed livestock industry in China. Chinese livestock producer could gain high grade breeds in short time through embryo technology by the reason that embryo technology could make outstanding gene spread out in herd. With the help of embryo technology, rare animals could have a chance to extend their progeny in fast changing world. In this article, we briefly introduced the process of embryo transfer and application of embryo technology in China.
