--- title: Transferred Embryos slug: pl-check-links/transferred-embryos docTags: createdAt: 2026-02-23T07:45:15.799Z --- The Animal List tab provides information on embryos that were transferred into recipient animals. This data is updated after embryos from inventory are used for BRED events and then processed from mobile or web. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/cqjn6PtzF0JiZBl_oLiOH_embryo-transferred.png) :::::ExpandableHeading ## View Transfer Details Filter transferred embryos: Use the filters to limit which embryos are shown. For instance, you may want to only view embryos transferred on a specific date. View a summary: A summary quickly shows the total number of transferred fresh and frozen embryos, as well as those in an undetermined status. The summary adjusts as you apply filters to your view. View transferred embryo details:  Click the Embryo ID to view a side panel with additional details. Scroll to the right if necessary to view additional information for your transfers. :::ExpandableHeading ### Embryo Details - Sire: The bull whose semen was used to fertilize the donor's egg to produce the embryo. If this column shows **Pool**, it means that an oocyte was fertilized by IVF from a pool containing the semen of multiple sires. - Donor: TThe female who provided the embryo or oocyte (sometimes referred to as the donor dam). - Embryo Breed: The embryo breed. Select from the standard list of NAAB breeds. - Fertilization Date: Date the donor egg was fertilized using the sire semen. - Recovery Type: The recovery type used: - **Flush** is used for embryos - **IVF** for in vitro fertilization (oocytes) - **Other** for neither of the above - Tank: The liquid nitrogen storage tank containing the cane with the embryo's straw. - Incubator: The warming unit containing the embryo's straw or mating. - Cane: The container holding the embryo's straw. - Mating: A description of the embryo mating details, such as sire, donor, and fertilization date. May contain multiple embryos. - Straw number: Number of the straw holding the embryo. Canes contain multiple straws and each straw holds a single embryo. - Stage: The stage at which the embryo was harvested: - **1** Unfertilized - **2** Simple Celled - **3** Early Morula - **4** Morula - **5** Early Blastocyst - **6** Blastocyst - **7** Expanded Blastocyst - **8** Hatched Blastocyst - **9** Expanded and Hatched Blastocyst - Grade: The quality of the embryo: - **1** Good - **2** Fair - **3** Poor - **4** Dead (or Degenerating) - Lab ID: Identifier for the lab from which the embryo was purchased. - Lab Embryo ID: Identifier for the embryo from the lab. This value differs from the PULSE Embryo ID. - Embryo Owner: Name or company that owns the embryo. - Frozen Date: Date the embryo was frozen. - Freeze Method: The method used to freeze the embryo:   - **Direct Transfer (DT)** is the process of using high levels of cryoprotectant to quickly cool an embryo to freezing. A common cryoprotectant used for this process is ethylene glycol. - **Slow** is the process of using low levels of cryoprotectant and a programmable freezing machine to slowly lower the temperature of the embryo to freezing. - Recipient: The animal that received the embryo transfer. Including the Recipient and Transfer details automatically adds a TRANSFER event to the recipient animal. See [Import Transferred Embryos](docId:8groFckI5s5gIRVwAusTt) for more information. - Transferred Tech: The embryo technician who completed the transfer. - Transferred Date: Date the embryo was transferred to the recipient. - Breeding Code: The code associated with the breeding activity. Check your dairy's [Breeding Codes](docId:1juHlGbJZQEN5JRJQ1fYX) for more details on each code. ::: Sort transferred embryos and customize your view: Click a column heading to sort by that column, or drag and drop the column to change the order of your view. You can also customize your view in other ways:  ::::ExpandableHeading ### Click here to learn more about customizing your view! Interactive column headers allow you to arrange the data into a way that's most useful to you. Depending on the features available for each column, you can add new columns of data, rearrange and reorder them, and filter some columns. To access these features, click on the column menu in the column you want to change. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/1IAyTLeSDgVgk-6wlyvWr_columnmenuopen.png) The top menu can contain three different options—one for resizing the column, one for filtering the data displayed in the column, and one for controlling which columns are displayed. Each menu contains various ways for manipulating what's shown on the page. Expand the sections below to learn more: :::ExpandableHeading ## Filter Columns Some columns that contain numeric values can be filtered to show only certain data. For example, to filter the **Lactation** column so that only animals with a lactation value of 3 display, click the filter option, and then use the fields to create your filter. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/KcpD_tXGi7bkp6lnJCxUU_herdfilter.png) ::: :::ExpandableHeading ## Reorder Columns You can reorder the way columns display by clicking in the header of the column you want to move and dragging it to its new location. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ## Change which Columns to Display To add or remove columns from the page, click the columns option and then check or uncheck the boxes to select which columns to display. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/_QQbEUkc2cV8RBdgaCaj6_herdcolumns.png) You can also remove columns by clicking on the header of the column you want to remove, holding down the mouse key, and dragging the column up and out of the table. ::: :::: ::::: ::::ExpandableHeading ## Delete Transferred Embryos If necessary, you can delete one or more TRANSFER events from recipient animals from the Transferred tab. Check the embryos and select the **delete** option at the top right in the blue bar. Then choose whether to return the embryos to inventory or discard them. ![](https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/nayIqTdeVkmvSXA1BigX5_embryo-transferred-delete.png) Removing the [TRANSFER Event](docId\:YeEvMvIEXLUwG7gjZw7HQ) also removes the associated [BRED Event](docId\:elnfxnfvUekk6oRG0s4lt) from the recipient animal. :::hint{type="info"} **TIP: **Use the **Return to Inventory** option if you accidentally selected the wrong embryo for a TRANSFER event. ::: :::: :::ExpandableHeading ## Print or Export Transferred Embryos Use the green buttons ::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/Y1924gX_ui2mb1OhYIEAO_print-export-button90x25.png" size="12" isUploading="false" initialPath="../../../../Resources/Images/Platform/!buttons/print-export-button_90x25.png" githubPath="Content/Resources/Images/Platform/!buttons/print-export-button_90x25.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} on the top right of the page to print or export the list in one of two formats: PDF and CSV.
