Article Synopsis
  • A new method for multiplex genotyping of bovine embryo microblade biopsies was developed, allowing simultaneous testing of gene markers associated with milk production and sex diagnosis.
  • The method showed high accuracy with only three discrepancies found among 395 genotypes tested, and it demonstrated good embryo viability, recovering 94.6% of biopsied embryos after 24 hours.
  • In a practical application, 43 out of 57 selected female embryos were transferred, resulting in 20 successful pregnancies, with calves born being female and matching the genotypes obtained from the biopsies.
