SimVitro®

By grouping all oocytes from one breed together for fertilization, we can produce and freeze large volumes of embryos. SimVitro embryos are less expensive and easier to use compared to traditional IVF embryos thanks to this technology.

 

Our innovative method allows producers to transition to different breeds more quickly than previously possible. For instance, SimVitro embryos can be used to transition from Holstein to Jersey cows in just one generation. With Artificial Insemination (A.I.), it would take five generations to produce Jersey cows that are still 1/32 Holstein.

 

Using our proprietary approach, we can produce a variety of SimVitro embryos, including Jersey, Holstein and beef.

Innovation in Action

To better understand how SimVitro™ embryos can help you, it is important to be familiar with the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process.

 

IVF is the method of fertilizing oocytes collected from donor cows with semen in a laboratory setting. Typically oocytes are collected from donor cows using ovum pick-up on cows in production.

 

The collected oocytes are then fertilized with superior semen in the laboratory. This process enables embryo production at an efficiency that had previously not been possible.
