Scientists at the Equine Production Campus, ICAR-National Research Centre on Equines, Bikaner (Rajasthan) produced a horse foal using Embryo transfer technology. In Embryo transfer technology, a fertilized embryo at the Blastocyst stage (Day 7.5 after insemination) was collected from the donor mare and successfully transferred recipient (surrogate) mother. The transfer of a blastocyst-stage embryo to a surrogate mother led to the birth of a filly foal with a normal birth weight of 23.0 kg, on Friday, 19th May 2023. The newly born foal is named ‘Raj-Prathama’.
