Abstract
The rapid growth in deer farming and interests in the conservation of various deer species have stimulated development of embryo transfer pr ocedures. The protocols developed are based on those used in sheep and cattle and generally involve surgical embryo recovery following FSH-i nduced superovulation. Data are limited, but pregnancy rates of around 3.0 per donor female for red deer, and around 1.5 for fallow deer are being achieved.
