Abstract Non-surgical embryo recovery and transfer techniques have a great economic potential for the rapid improvement of c~ttle and II give a better chance for genetic selection to incre~se production • The present study aimed for the applicatioD of Don-surgical eabryo transfer technique in 4 breeds of german cattle with trails to use different filter systeas to define the most sui! o table one. Horeover, responsivenes of donor aniaals for superovulation with PHSG (3000 lU) and FSH (46 mg) horNones I1 1 were estimated. Synchronizations of oestrus with Estrumate in recipient animals were performed. The influences of season, embryo stage and embryo quality UpOD pregnancy rates after the used non-surgical embryo transfer were observed. The number of saccessful non-surgical flushing was 55 out of 60 prepared cows. Tbe donor animals used in the present work were 19 Scb.arzbnn~, ’8 lotbun~, lQ Fleckvieb and two Cbarolal. cows. The Dsed flushing mediua was nulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 1% beat inactivated fetal calf serum (FeS). Tbe vsed ! flusbing catheter was Reu.ta’t/Ai.cb type and the transfer Ij ! Ii cannula was of Baunover ao.el.
