AH&VS Deputes Second Batch of Sr. Veterinary Officers to Attend Training on Embryo Transfer Technique at Surat

During the training programme, comprehensive theoretical classes were conducted on the estrous cycle, hormonal control, synchronisation of estrus, reproductive physiology and various procedures involved in Embryo Transfer Technique. In addition to the theoretical sessions, practical classes were held on reproductive organ palpation, identification of reproductive status and practical techniques involved in embryo transfer. The hands-on practical sessions were highly informative and beneficial in developing practical understanding and skills related to assisted reproductive techniques.

The participants were also given demonstrations and practical exposure to various stages of the embryo production process, including ovum pick-up, oocyte/ova collection, embryogenesis, embryo freezing/cryopreservation, thawing techniques and transportation of embryos. The procedures followed at NDDB were demonstrated in a systematic and practical manner. The training programme also included refresher sessions and interactive discussions, which helped in strengthening the existing knowledge of the participants regarding advanced reproductive technologies in livestock.
