whether Australia is likely to follow suit
results (MOET vs IVF, fresh vs frozen embryos)
cost/embryo and cost/pregnancy
differences between and within breeds
why brahmans shouldn't be treated in the same way as Brazil's bos indicus cattle (Nelore)
why Wagyus dont respond as well to IVP and further work needed
technicians and logistical challenges
optimising outcomes
the benefits of stimulated IVP programs with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
the importance of media
pregnancy losses; and
