Alta EMBRYOS
Exceed the speed limit of AI with the embryos that are customized to fast-track your genetic progress in a single generation.
Genetic Progress at Full Throttle
Artificial insemination changed the game for genetic progress more than 100 years ago, but it didn’t address one of the biggest speed bumps to making genetic progress: time. Even with the best sires, it can take 5–7 years before meaningful genetic change to show up across the herd using artificial insemination alone.
Embryos change the game by doing what artificial insemination can’t: compressing years of genetic progress into a single generation. Instead of waiting for progress to accumulate, embryos pull improvement forward, creating accelerated gains in production, health, fertility, and efficiency.

Embryos vs. Artificial Insemination
Speed of Genetic Progress
EMBRYOS
Dramatic changes in alignment with goals in one generation
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Smaller improvements in one generation and takes multiple generations to make dramatic progress towards a goal
Herd Uniformity
EMBRYOS
Easier to predict and create uniformity using multiple embryos of the same mating
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Difficult to predict and create uniformity with a variety of herd females
Fertility
EMBRYOS
Average conception rates with a 10% conception rate advantage in hotter temperatures*
ARTIFICIAL INSEMENATION
Average conception rates with 10% lower conception rates during hotter temperatures compared to embryos*
Customization
EMBRYOS
Elite sires and donor females outside of the herd can be utilized
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Utilizes elite sires only on herd females
Biosecurity
EMBRYOS
Can build within the herd, reducing the risk of transferring diseases
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Increased risk of transfer of disease when needing to bring in new females
Price
EMBRYOS
Higher investment up-front that can be minimized with beef x dairy strategies
ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION
Moderate investment up-front
