The success rate of invitro fertilization in cattle is very high. They have been doing it for years.

Dear Bank$,\n\nGood question. I am not going to be able to answer in great detail.\nBut I can point out a few reputable web sites which will contain\nmuch of the info needed.\n\nHere they are:\n\nMedlinePlus- Infertility\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/infertility.html\n   Links to reputable [advertisement free] health/medical web pages\n\nHere are a few examples from this page:\n  ----Infertility: An Overview (American Society for Reproductive Medicine) - Large PDF file  \n              2Eorg%2FPatients%2Fpatientbooklets%2Finfertility%5Foverview%2Epdf\n\n----Assisted Reproductive Technologies (American Society for Reproductive Medicine) - Large PDF file \n         http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/medlineplus/leavemedplus.pl?theURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Easrm%2Eorg%2FPatients%2Fpatientbooklets%2FART%2Epdf\n\n--Assisted Reproductive Technology\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ART/\n    includes some statistics based on a 2002 survey\n   (with a link not only to that survey but many more related links)\n\n--Infertility/Fertility (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/medlineplus/leavemedplus.pl?theORG=%4E%49%43%48%44&theURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enichd%2Enih%2Egov%2Fhealth%2Ftopics%2Finfertility%5Ffertility%2Ecfm\n\n--Infertility (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research) \n    http://www.nlm.nih.gov/cgi/medlineplus/leavemedplus.pl?theURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emayoclinic%2Ecom%2Fhealth%2Finfertility%2FDS00310\n\n\nAlso....the WWW is not complete!\nFor additional information, check with your local library..\nfor books and databases (indexes) to magazine and journal\narticles that are not freely available on the internet.\nA few databases that may be available are Academic Search Premier,Health Source-Consumer edition and InfoTrac\n\nState funded academic and medical college libraries are, as far as I know, all open to the public...and any reputable medical reference librarian can get you started...\nOnline databases (some with full text) include MD Consult,\nMedline, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health),\nAccess Medicine, UpToDate...call ahead, talk to a reference librarian and see what is available, extent of their in person assistance, etc.\n\nHope this helps!\nIf there is something specific that is not covered in the above\n(MedlinePlus page)...let me know (email is in my profile)..\nand I will do my best!

Not a whole lot of time I have heard of the Calf, diet you might want to look it up not to sure how safe it is but it isn't one that will last . Have you tried Fasting do it every other weekend not to heathy but it will work for you look at x mas

There is no average.  For me and my older sister, we got pregnant within a few weeks of trying, however my younger sister has been trying for two years to no avail.  It varies greatly from woman to woman.

The USDA website has a lot of great data that lists the cattle numbers according to the Agricultural census. Every farmer/rancher should know how many cattle they have! You can't manage what you don't measure! Ask the the ranches that make the most profit per animal.

yes as long as your ovaries are healthy because with IVF they give u injections so that your ovaries produce more eggs then they take them out and fertilize them so there should be no problem with doing it as long as you find a healthy surragute

I found this:\n\n9 - 10 Fair.  Response is between completely normal and somewhat reduced (response varies widely). Overall, a somewhat reduced live birth rate. \n\nAs well as this:\n\nSome tips for lowering FSH\n\nThis is often one of the first hurdles we find women fall at. Sometimes when a woman decides to go down the IVF route, she never considers for a minute that she will not be able to start a cycle. We have had some success here at the Clinic in using both modifications to diet and acupuncture to reduce FSH levels and to redress other hormone imbalances - but there are limits to what can be done, and it very much depends on how high your levels are to start with. \n\nLevels of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) are a good indicator of the state of your egg reserve. FSH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland to ripen and mature the egg. Levels tend to fluctuate on a monthly basis as perimenopause approaches, but there’s generally a window of opportunity at some point when your level will be low enough to start an IVF cycle. \n\nHigh FSH levels mean egg quality is likely to be poor and fragile eggs may not be able to withstand the stress of IVF drugs. It could also mean that you haven’t ovulated and, though some women do go on to have a successful pregnancy using their own eggs, your clinic may recommend the use of donor eggs.\n\nThere’s currently no accepted, conventional treatment for raised FSH but here’s what you can do to help yourself:\n\nGo onto a liver detox diet. Our resident nutritionist, Melanie Brown, will be able to talk you though how and why this can help. \nSpend time relaxing and doing deep breathing. You might like to come into the clinic for a deep breathing (Qi gong) session with Chew Yeen Lawes, our resident midwife and martial arts trainer. TM (transcendental meditation) can also be very beneficial. \n\nStudies show that acupuncture can help to lower FSH. We treat a number of acu-points which are important for reproduction and hormone regulation. \n\nI hope this helps you some!

Supplementation with the amino acid, L-arginine (16 grams per day), has been shown to improve fertilization rates in women with a previous history of failed attempts at in vitro (test tube) fertilization.22\nhttp://www.gianteagle.com/healthnotes/Supp/Arginine.htm\nhttp://www.gianteagle.com/healthnotes/Concern/Infertility_Female.htm\n\nAlsop consider taking a multi-vitamin with iron

yes.  and cysts, tumors, and cows that are ovulating.

I loved it!!! I deal with cows all day so this is a good one.LOL

In vitro means in the "glass" or test tube or petri dish, basically means "in the lab".  Oviparous organisms lay eggs and use either internal or external fertilization in nature. So if using the lab, either ext or int fert eggs-sperm can be used successfully and the most easily if the chemistry, temps, lights and misc conditions are right. Hopefully the animals are cooperative.  It is easiest with spawning type organisms: vertebrates or invertebrates; classic labs for students usually demonstrate in vitro with sea urchins; inject sea urchins with KOH and it will make them ooze their gametes; egg-sperm are different colors; mix the two opposite gametes and watch fertilization under the microscope. very cool to watch multiple stages of embryo-larva development under the microscope\n\nOviviviparous organisms in vitro could be done in vitro too, but it would be more challenging; oviviparous are those organisms whose females lay an egg inside their own female body and then it becomes fertilized by a male inside the female body after a mating act; zygote develops in the female body and then the mother APPEARS to have a "live" vaginal birth, butthey are not placentals! these organisms are either fish, amphibians, reptiles and a few rare non-placental mammals, thus these are generally NOT usual candidates for invitro fertilization in the lab,but I am sure that it has been tried and could be successful even with these; it's easier with oviparous since access to sperm and egg for the lab would be easier

get a cow and find out

depends on the animal..some have as little as 3%

Depends, they say it takes 1/2 the time you were on it to become fertile again. I was on it for 5 yrs. and I got pregnant @ a year after I'd stopped getting the shot.

First you need to identify on which BAC(s) the dkk1 gene resides then order it. You then need to cut out the sections on either side of the gene or an exon - preferably about 2kb on one side and 6-8kb on the other. Once you have those pieces in your targeting vector (which contains a positive selection marker - usually TK and it's promoter), you'll need to insert a negative selection marker in the long arm (the 6-8kb side). This is usually the Neomycin resistance gene, but others have been using Puramycin among others. Once that's made, you need to open the vector, and submit it to a transgenic facility that works on cows (good luck!).\n\nThe facility will electroporate your DNA into cow stem cells and then you'll have to screen all the clones that survive the positive and negative selection (you're looking at screening at least 500 colonies and probably much more than that). Using PCR as a first pass screening method can reduce your overall workload, but you'll still have to show a shift by Southern Blot since it's still the "gold standard". Once you've idenified a positive clone, you let the transgenic facility know, and they remove the nucleus and inject it into a denucleated embryo which is then implanted into a female.

It depends a lot on the extent of the hypothyroidism. A good information resource can be found here: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/fertilitythy.htm
