Embryo production from superovulated Holstein-Friesian dairy heifers and cows after insemination with frozen-thawed sex-sorted X spermatozoa or unsorted semen.

The aim of this study was to evaluate embryo production in superovulated Holstein-Friesian dairy heifers and cows inseminated with either X-sorted spermatozoa (2 million/dose) or unsorted semen (15 million/dose). Experiment 1 at the research farm involved eight heifers, six cows and semen of one Holstein bull. All transferable embryos were diagnosed for sex.
