Transferred Embryos
The Transferred tab provides information on embryos that were transferred into recipient animals. This data is updated after embryos from inventory are used for BRED events and then processed from mobile or web.
View Transfer Details
Filter transferred embryos: Use the filters to limit which embryos are shown. For instance, you may want to only view embryos transferred on a specific date.
View a summary: A summary quickly shows the total number of transferred fresh and frozen embryos, as well as those in an undetermined status. The summary adjusts as you apply filters to your view.
View transferred embryo details: Click the Embryo ID Identifier to view a side panel with additional details. Scroll to the right if necessary to view additional information for your transfers.

- Recipient: The animal that received the embryo transfer.
- Transferred Date: Date the embryo was transferred to the recipient.
- Sire: The bull whose semen was used to fertilize the donor's egg to produce the embryo. An unfertilized egg. was fertilized by IVF In-Vitro Fertilization. In relation to embryo transfers, IVF occurs when oocytes (eggs) are collected via OPU (ovum pick up), and then in a lab, semen is added to create embryos. from a pool containing the semen of multiple sires.
- Donor: TThe female who provided the embryo or oocyte (sometimes referred to as the donor dam).
-
Stage: The stage at which the embryo was harvested:
- 1 Unfertilized
- 2 Simple Celled
- 3 Early Morula
- 4 Morula
- 5 Early Blastocyst
- 6 Blastocyst
- 7 Expanded Blastocyst
- 8 Hatched Blastocyst
- 9 Expanded and Hatched Blastocyst
-
Grade: The quality of the embryo:
- 1 Good
- 2 Fair
- 3 Poor
- 4 Dead (or Degenerating)
-
Storage: Embryo storage method:
-
Fresh: Embryos retrieved from donors using an embryo flush Embryos are harvested by being flushed out of a superovulated cow that has already been bred. or those gathered in a vial from an IVF procedure are considered to be "fresh", as they are transferred to a recipient animal shortly after retrieval and are not frozen or otherwise preserved. -
Frozen: Embryos retrieved from donors or an IVF procedure are analyzed for viability, and those rated as grade 1 or 2 are considered suitable for freezing.
-
-
- Flush is used for embryos
- IVF for in vitro fertilization (oocytes Unfertilized eggs.)
- Other for neither of the above
- Transferred: Transfer was completed.
- Undetermined: Recipient animal was BRED following a TRANSFER event, so the source of the resulting pregnancy cannot be confirmed.
-
Tech
Tech is short for Technician.: The embryo technician who completed the transfer. -
Breeding Code
Bred Code is short for "Breeding Code.": The code associated with the breeding activity. Check your dairy's Breeding Codes for more details on each code.
Status: Current status of the transfer:

Interactive column headers allow you to arrange the data into a way that's most useful to you. Depending on the features available for each column, you can add new columns of data, rearrange and reorder them, and filter some columns. To access these features, click on the column menu in the column you want to change.
The top menu can contain three different options—one for resizing the column, one for filtering the data displayed in the column, and one for controlling which columns are displayed. Each menu contains various ways for manipulating what's shown on the page.

Filter Columns
Columns that contain numeric values can be filtered to show only certain data. For example, to filter the Lactation column so that only animals with a lactation value of 3 display, click the filter option, and then use the fields to create your filter.
Reorder Columns
You can reorder the way columns display by clicking in the header of the column you want to move and dragging it to its new location.
Change which Columns to Display
To add or remove columns from the page, click the columns option and then check or uncheck the boxes to select which columns to display.
You can also remove columns by clicking on the header of the column you want to remove, holding down the mouse key, and dragging the column up and out of the table.

Use the green buttons 
on the top right of the page to print or export the list in one of two formats: PDF and CSV. The list will print/export with the current filters applied.
