In July of 2023, we also started working with equine gametes in the ivf laboratory of Milkmen Ltd.-Embrió Ltd.’s ET Center in Paks.
We succeeded in making embryos in the first round as well, but our second attempt in September 2023 undoubtedly resulted in beautiful blastocysts. After vitrification and warming two embryos were transferred, both of them implanted as detected by ultrasonography on Day 8., October 2, 2023. As far as we know this is the first pregnancy from in vitro produced equine embryos in the Eastern half of Europe.
Next time we continue with direct transfer after vitrification.
