EMBRYO transfer was developed to overcome fertility problems in humans and is now routinely used in human medicine. The technique has since been adapted for use in the animal field and has proven to be very useful. Early techniques for bovine embryo transfer involved general anaesthesia with surgical collection and transfer of embryos. These have, however, been superseded by a quick, non‐surgical, repeatable technique, the elements of which are described in this article.
