Add Embryos to Inventory or Transferred Embryos

pulse allows you to add fresh or frozen embryos to inventory to streamline embryo transfer tasks while out on the farm and using the mobile app use the batch import feature to quickly add multiple embryos, such as those harvested from an , or add individual embryos or multiple identical embryos as needed you can also add transferred embryos directly to the transferred embryos docid\ kr1cg8jwjcxb6rvl8zqto page using the same batch import process and file you can find this feature under the dairycomp/mydc docid\ ezfejzdkbcfov b69aupr > embryos docid\ ezfejzdkbcfov b69aupr menu the options to add embryos are available from the menu or the embryo management tabs before you add embryos to inventory prior to entering your embryos to inventory, be sure to have all required details verify that the lab report or other listing that accompanied the delivery of your embryos is handy and available for reference note that the following details are required to add embryos to inventory code or donor id, name, or iso id fertilization date frozen date (for frozen embryos) in addition to the required items, other information that is useful when preparing to add embryos includes embryo breed straw or mating details embryo counts embryo requirements for transfer pulse limits the transfer of embryos to those with the highest potential for success embryos must meet the following requirements to qualify for transfer embryo transfers are typically done with 4 to 8 day old embryos in pulse, you can only enter data for embryos that are less than 12 days old ( < 12) as noted in enter completed transfers as soon as possible! docid\ xe24w8so0ee7cfvfn3xeb , you must be prompt with your data entry to capture embryo transfers in pulse must be grade 1 3 1 good 2 fair 3 poor must

detail is missing or if the data included is not within the expected range warning indicates an issue with the data, such as a straw number that is already in use for a frozen embryo if necessary, return to your embryo batch file, resolve any errors, and upload the file again when ready, click import to import your embryos import summary after your embryo data is imported, you can download a list of the embryos that were not included you can use this list to identify and resolve any errors, and if necessary, upload the updated file import transferred embryos in addition to importing embryos to inventory, you can use the same template file to import completed transfers follow the import embryos in batch docid\ xe24w8so0ee7cfvfn3xeb steps and be sure to include the required details in your template file recipient the animal that received the embryo transfer transferred date date the embryo was transferred to the recipient you can also include optional details if your dairy

event to the recipient's cowcard for the transferred date you specified add one embryo or multiple embryos with same details select add embryo from the menu bar or the options button complete all required fields and any additional details for the embryo note to add multiple embryos with the same details, use the number of embryos/straws field for fresh embryos and the from straw / to straw fields for frozen embryos pulse will calculate the number of frozen embryos you're adding based on the difference between the straw numbers embryo details the bull whose semen was used to fertilize

straw number that contains this embryo to straw the last straw number that contains this embryo this allows pulse to calculate the total number of embryos to be added for instance, if you add embryos from straw 6 to straw 11, a total of 6 embryos are added note to add a single embryo, do not include from straw and to straw values stage the stage at which the embryo was harvested 1 unfertilized 2
