Development of an embryo transfer program for improvement and propagation of dairy cattle in Jamaica
The two main objectives of the research project were to (1) determine the effect of various doses of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on the release of ova from donor cows, and (2) compare the effectiveness of Estrumate and Sychromate B for estrus synchronization in recipient cattle in Jamaica.

Abstract
Embryos were successfully transferred in Jamaica, which resulted in live calves. The type of FSH treatment did not affect response. There was no difference in response of cows between Estrumate and Sychromate B. Success rates varied greatly, from large commercial herds, where this procedure was successful, to small herds on subsistence farms, where it was not, due to the lack of good herd management.
