Abstract
One hundred and fifty-one, day 6 or 7, embryos collected from cattle infected with bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) were transferred to uninfected recipients. Thirty-two pregnancies resulted. Two animals aborted at seven months. Three sets of twins and one single calf were still-born. The remaining 26 pregnancies produced 27 live calves which were raised to six months of age. All of the recipients, pregnant and non-pregnant, and all of the calves remained serologically negative for antibodies to BLV-glycoprotein antigen.Keywords
