Activf-ET is an exciting and vibrant new consortium; set up to deliver advanced breeding technologies to the UK cattle industry and beyond.
The In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) process utilises both the Ovum Pickup (OPU) and In-Vitro Embryo Production (IVP) techniques to create bovine embryos.
With cattle fertility falling worldwide by 1% per year, and an ever- increasing need for sustainable protein production there is a requirement to amplify and exploit existing knowledge, and improve cattle production efficiencies.
At the heart of Activf-ET is a commitment to ongoing research and development to further develop these advanced breeding technologies to the advantage of the UK herd.
