The
livestock embryo production laboratory established in the Khojayli district has recorded its
first high-tech result. On May 4, 2026, the first Holstein calf conceived
through embryo transplantation was born at the "Qongirotboy Mehri" breeding farm in the Nukus district.
Experts
emphasize that embryo transplantation technology allows for
"skipping" several stages compared to conventional artificial
insemination. This means that breeding results, which typically take 10–14 years to achieve, can be
obtained in a much shorter period.
The
newborn calf is reported to be in good condition. While it weighed 32 kilograms at birth, its current
weight has reached 37–40 kilograms.
Specialists view its growth, weight gain, and adaptation to the local climate
positively. Within the framework of this project, embryo transplantations have
been performed on more than 70 cattle
to date. Similar experiments are continuing in the Chimboy, Takhtakupir, and
other districts.
The
"Qongirotboy Mehri" farm was established in 2020 and currently cares
for more than 650 head of pedigree
cattle. The initial transplantation work in collaboration between the
farm and the "In-vitro" laboratory began in the summer of 2025.
