Resumen
El objetivo principal de esta investigación es describir el proceso de descongelamiento y transferencia de embriones de ganado bovino, que llevan a cabo los ganaderos y docentes, durante sus prácticas en la Unidad Educativa Agronómico Salesiano, en el periodo comprendido entre 2021-2022. Además, el proyecto se realiza con la finalidad de trasmitir y ampliar los conocimientos sobre el tema, el cual irá conjuntamente reforzado con la práctica de campo en relevancia con los avances del mismo. La importancia de la transferencia de embriones radica en la mejora de la genética de los bovinos, por un lado; y por otro, se puede ganar un tiempo prudencial en la renovación del hato ganadero, de manera que se produzca un nuevo ser vivo con características que beneficiarían a la producción bovina, y a los ganaderos y encargados de llevar adelante este procedimiento. La transferencia de embriones es una tecnología bastante compleja, que proporciona una herramienta muy útil porque permite la conservación de embriones de excelente calidad durante largos períodos, incluso la obtención de óvulos fecundados. Espermatozoides que han sido estimulados por inseminación artificial o natural e inseminación de una hembra donante y transferida en condiciones favorables a otra que llamamos receptora, que está interesada en su desarrollo.
Palabras clave: bovinos, descongelamiento, embriones,
lavado, transferencia.
Abstract
The main objective of this research is to describe the process of thawing and transferring bovine embryos, carried out by livestock farmers and teachers during their practical training at the Salesian Agronomic Educational Unit between 2021 and 2022. In addition, the project aims to convey and expand knowledge on the subject, which will be reinforced by field practice in line with advances in the field. The importance of embryo transfer lies in improving the genetics of cattle, on the one hand, and on the other, it can save a considerable amount of time in renewing the herd, so that a new living being is produced with characteristics that would benefit cattle production, as well as the farmers and those responsible for carrying out this procedure. Embryo transfer is a fairly complex technology, which provides a very useful tool because it allows the conservation of embryos of excellent quality for long periods, including the obtaining of fertilized eggs. Sperm that have been stimulated by artificial or natural insemination and insemination of a female donor and transferred under favorable conditions to another that we call the recipient, who is interested in its development.
Keywords: bovine, thawing, embryos, washing, transfer.
