Description
This book briefly reviews the history of equine embryo transfer, covering in clinically practical terms the techniques, equipment, and management protocols currently in use.

Reviews / Votes
"... a well-written book. It covers everything involved in equine embryo transfer work from start to finish. The book is written in a manner that will provide valuable information to anyone interested in learning embryo transfer or someone who is already doing some embryo transfer but would like more information. ... I particularly liked the pictures and charts, because they nicely complimented and augmented the text. This book also contains a lot of descriptive statistics for a large number of embryo transfers. It is a good value and will be a nice addition to the library of anyone interested in equine embryo transfer."-Shawn Jensen, DVM, Bluff Country Equine, Winona, Minnesota, USA, from Vet Med Today: Book Reviews, JAVMA, Vol 247, No. 6, September 15, 2015
