Bovine
If you own or manage cattle, you know that some of your animals have more income potential than others. Our services help you identify, preserve, and reproduce the genetics of those animals.
Imagine having multiple “twin” copies of your top-producing dam. Not only would the number of embryos and offspring be greatly expanded, but the opportunity to mate her twins to multiple sires at the same time could help you quickly identify the “magical mating” that produces the next generation of exceptional genetics.
Additional copies of a top-producing sire would ensure that you have enough semen supplies to meet demand, and would broaden your opportunities to offer natural service sires.
Whether your business is dairy cattle, beef cattle, bucking bulls, Longhorns, or exotic cattle, ViaGen will help you:
- Greatly expand the reproductive potential of your top animals
- Keep up with demand for their semen, embryos and offspring
- Preserve their genes as insurance against unexpected injury or loss
- Quickly improve quality and consistency within your herd
- Expand your marketing opportunities
