Registering an embryo calf is just like registering a natural born calf, except for three things: the donor dam, MBC, and breeder fields.
Parent Verification(PV) is the minimum testing requirement for purchased embryos. This testing simply confirms whether the animal qualifies or does not qualify to the sire/dam.
