Project 1: Application and Improvement of Embryo Transfer (ET) Technology as a Tool Towards Achieving the Desired Number of Genetically Superior Breeder Dairy Cattle
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The objective of the project is to promote assisted reproduction techniques, such as artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer (ET), in local dairy farms. The project will be using imported and/or locally produced semen and embryo from genetically superior dairy cattle breeds on the existing stocks of the dairy farms in specific regions of the Philippines. Likewise, embryo collection activities will be performed on qualified farms. These reproductive techniques will contribute to the increase in the genetically superior dairy cow inventory in the Philippines leading to the production of the desired volume of milk.

FAQs
The project covers Regions 2, 5, 4A, 7, 10 and 11.
There are several cooperating agencies, namely:
Cagayan State University (CSU), Central Luzon State University (CLSU),
Bohol Island State University (BISU), Central Mindanao University (CMU), University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP) and the National Dairy Authority (NDA).
For interested dairy farmers, you may contact the collaborating University covering your specific regions. Evaluation of the dairy farms will be conducted to determine suitability for the project.

You may contact the collaborating SUC nearest your region for details.
You may participate in any or all of the following:
- Semen recipient
- Embryo donor
- Embryo recipient
Likewise, you must participate in data gathering of the dairy animals to be used and the calves produced.
The project will be providing imported semen and/or embryo and locally-produced semen and/embryo from genetically superior animals free of charge to qualified dairy farms. All calves produced in the conduct of the project will be owned by the farmer.
