Trans Ova Genetics is an industry leader in cloning technology. Cloning allows breeders to re-create a special individual that was lost too early in their reproductive life, or that has encountered reproductive challenges – thus inhibiting adequate development of the individual’s elite genetics. The technology of cloning also can be a valuable tool for establishing a consistent herd of animals.

Cloning technology allows breeders to recreate the genotype of a superior animal, providing a source to extend their genetic influence. Most often, cow family development and merchandising opportunities are still possible if the original animal has been both genetically preserved and cloned.

Breeders most often look at cloning as a technology to:

• Produce a genetic copy of an elite animal no longer capable of producing embryos or semen (including steers).
• Reproduce a genetic copy of an elite animal that has died.
• Produce quantities of elite individuals for the purpose of large-scale, consistent genetic influence within a herd building program.
