Abstract excerpt
Use of cloned embryos from desirable genotypes (commercial clone lines) enables faster dissemination of superior genetics to dairy producers. Under optimal purchasing strategies of milk producers, the annual proportion of replacement cows from commercial clone lines indicates the market share of cloned embryos compared with semen. Relevant factors affecting this market share were studied. To produce the next...
