To investigate the development of fresh and frozen swamp buffalo embryos after transfer to synchronized recipients, 14 fresh embryos and 28 frozen embryos, collected from Thai swamp buffalo cows of an elite herd at the Surin Breeding Center, were transferred nonsurgically to 31 synchronized recipients buffalo cows. One fresh embryo was transferred to each of 14 recipients. Twenty eight frozen embryos were transferred to 17 recipients of which 7 cows received I embryo, 9 cows received 2 embryos and 1 cow received 3 embryos. Pregnancy was diagnosed by real time B-mode ultrasonography one month after transfer and confirmed by rectal palpation one and two months later. The pregnant cows were kept under observation until calving. The results of fresh embryo transfer showed that 5/14 (35.7%) were pregnant after 30 days, 4/14 (28.6%) remained pregnant until the 3rd month and 2/14 (14.3%) calved. With the frozen embryos, only one cow which received three embryos became pregnant and remained so for 3 months although the embryo did not survive to full term. The overall pregnancy rate using frozen embryos was 5.9% (1/17). The study demonstrated the possibility of performing embryo transfer in elite buffalo herds for genetic improvement, however the use of frozen embryos needed further investigation.
