The USDA Agricultural Research Service plans to establish a single-source contract with the University of Minnesota's Department of Animal Science to acquire 150 Holstein embryos from a specific 1960 control line. These embryos will be sourced exclusively from the maternal control line and are to be frozen and stored continuously in liquid nitrogen. Each embryo will be provided with detailed documentation including the identification numbers of both sire and dam, the collection and freezing dates, the stage of development, and the embryo's grade. This particular Holstein line is notable for its milk production, which differs markedly from the current industry genetics, showing a herd breeding value significantly lower in total milk production by 6,054 pounds. The contract aims to procure these embryos for research purposes to explore genetic variations in milk production within Holstein cattle.
