Embryo biopsy and sexing are two innovative techniques used in equine reproduction to obtain high-value genetic information before transfer.

​

Embryo biopsy involves extracting a very small portion of embryonic tissue between days 7 and 9 of development. This material is examined in the laboratory to determine the sex of the embryo or to conduct additional genetic tests, such as detecting hereditary genetic diseases. These powerful tools enable breeders to make informed and precise decisions, maximizing the efficiency and quality of equine breeding.
