INTRODUCTION
Definition: Embryo transfer is the removal of a fertilized egg from a donor cow and implanting it into the uterus horn of another cow-recipient.
Though in Kenya the first commercial embryo transfers were done in the 1970s,to date the technology has not been fully adopted.
Current price: Kshs 100,000 per 3 consecutive inseminations.

LITERATURE REVIEW
One of the primary deterrents to beef and dairy cattle producers’ adoption of the technology is the perceived cost. (Anderson ,2008).
Embryo transfer is a procedure which requires expertise and skill as it requires preparation of both the animals involved and their environment.
The intercontinental transport of a live animal may cost several millions of shillings, whereas an entire herd can be transported in the form of frozen embryos.(Mapletoft,2006).

DEMYSTIFICATION OF THE TECHNOLOGY.
Training takes: 5 weeks in Kenya 3 days or 30 hours of intensive training in Agtech
college in the USA.
Availability of embryos: ADC Kitale has been mandated by the
government of Kenya to produce at least 1000 embryos every year.
Availability of high quality semen in Kenya
CAIS,Kabete.
