At Reproduction Enterprises we provide embryo services for a wide range of species, including cattle, goats, sheep, and horses.
Embryo Recovery and Transfer Services
We offer embryo services for cattle and small ruminants. These services can be performed at our facility or on-farm. The donors that stay at our facility are tested yearly for major reproductive diseases and are vaccinated on arrival. Pasture is available for donors who are between stimulation schedules. The embryos produced here are frozen or may be transferred fresh depending on the availability of recipients. REI often has recipients available for purchase but we reserve them on a first come basis.
