About in vitro

Vitro
in your kennel

Available now in Poland.

The production of bovine embryos in vitro is:

  • high efficiency – a real impact on increasing breeding potential
  • possibility of a variety of genetic selection – the creation of individuals with desirable characteristics
  • low invasiveness – simplicity and speed of carrying out egg harvesting procedures, convenience for the breeder
  • safety of the procedure for, used as ova donor, cows and
  • best value for money – you pay for specific effects that are in line with your expectations.

Step-by-step:

  • consultation and action plan on the basis of the needs of the breeder
  • selection of females and assessment of their potential
  • selection of genetically optimal semen (ew. bring it out of the bank)
  • removal of ova from females under ultrasound control
  • in vitro fertilization of obtained cells with frozen semen
  • embryonic procedures and embryos
  • transfer to recipients of selected embryos (embryotransfer) and freezing of embryos of other

80

on average, 80 ova can be obtained with approximately 10 000 eggs. 10 treatments for the most valuable cow in the herd.

40

10 procedures in 1 cow; after this time, the cow returns to breeding without any break.

10-20

pregnancies in cows undergoing transfer surgery can be obtained within 40 days.

Many embryos in a short time

In vitro embryo production is a much more effective method than classical ET. Depending on your needs, we can adjust the scale and way of working to the herd development plans. Egg harvesting procedures can be performed every 4 days, for any period of time fixed with the breeder. An

average of 40 to 250 cells per cow can be taken per month, of which 15-100 embryos with the potential for transfer (and pregnancy) or freezing are formed.

Females ready for further breeding without withdrawal period

We do not use any hormonal stimulation to extract eggs from the most genetically valuable pieces of your choice, as is the case with the classical embriotran sphere. Thanks to this,

females do not have hormonal disorders and can immediately return directly to reproduction. This is particularly valuable, with a plan to achieve the fastest genetic progression of the herd.

Maximum use of semen of the best bulls

In vitro embryo production is a much more advanced, forward-looking method than a classic embryotransfer. It allows for more efficient use of semen (especially when the breeder wants to use the semen of a carefully selected bull and invests in high-quality material). In the case

of the in vitro method, one straw of semen is sufficient to fertilize ova taken from 2 to 10 cows – depending on the concentration of sperm in the preparation.

Future potential in frozen embryos

We use innovative freezing and storage methods (different from those used in classic ET), which gives us about 70%-80% of the survival rate of frozen blastocysts. Thanks to this, you can use them in the future, or sell them without the need for further treatments to download cells. Thanks to

this approach, the investment in the reproduction of the herd through in vitro simply pays off.
