Abstract
Fifty-nine percent of 34 gilts inseminated unilaterally into the anterior portion of the uterine horn were pregnant when slaughtered on the 7th to 25th day of pregnancy. The study was to determine the time and mechanism of intrauterine migration of embryos. Migration of embryos to the occluded horn was first observed on the 11th day of pregnancy. Evidence of embryo migration was found in eight of nine gilts examined at later stages of pregnancy.
