The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between concentration of urea nitrogen, glucose, cholesterol and number of transferable embryos for the purpose of improving reproductive performance in blood of Hanwoo donors. Fifty five, at random stages of the estrous cycle, received a CIDR. Four days later, the animals were superovulated with a total of 28AU FSH (Antorin, 2AU=1 ml) administered twice daily in constant doses over 4 days. On the 3th administration of FSH, CIDR was withdrawn and 25 mg PGF2α was administered. Cows were artificially inseminated twice after estrous detection at 12 hr intervals. The cows received 100μg GnRH at the time of 1nd insemination. Embryos were recovered 7 or 8 days after the 1st insemination. Cows with BUN ＜10, 11～18 and ≥19 mg/dl had number of transferable embryos of 4.3±1.3, 5.8±1.8 and 4.7±2.1 respectively. The mean numbers of total ova from < 10 and 10≤ of corpora lutea(CL) was 8.9 and 14.3, respectively. The number of transferable embryos differed between < 10 and 10≤ CL was 4.8 and 5.6, respectively.
