Clinical Autogenous Transfers Into the Oocyte Donor ’s Uterus of Embryos Produced by Intracytoplasmic sperm Injection

Clinical applications of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in equine reproduction have increased in popularity over the past decade. Aging or death of popular sires has limited use of their frozen semen to ICSI. Recipient lease and mare care throughout gestation is a cost consideration with ICSI-produced embryos, although oocyte donors can be capable of carrying a foal to term. Therefore, techniques have been developed in which ICSI-produced embryos are transferred back into oocyte donor ’s uterus (autogenous transfer)[Carnevale et al.
