Ova-achievers are proud to offer just one service – Bovine embryo transfer. By concentrating on just one species we are able to offer the kind of specialised service that elite breeders require.
Ova-achievers can come to your farm. We regularly travel to farms throughout the North and South Islands. Our North Island based van is equipped with microscopes and other technical equipment that we require, you just need to provide secure and covered yard facilities for your donors and recipients and a person to assist. We usually fly to the South Island and require a clean area with a table for embryology work.
You can also send your donors to us. Dairy cows are milked on the farm of Stewart and Kathryn Anderson near Otorohanga. The Andersons have one of the highest BW herds in the country and are currently the biggest suppliers of bulls to LIC under their “Arkan” stud prefix. They farm Friesian, Crossbred and Jersey cows. Donors can be winter milked on this farm. Beef donors can also be accommodated at Kevin and Helen Williams’ farm near Hamilton.
We can use your recipients on your farm. Alternatively recipients can be supplied by arrangement.
While MOET is our main service, we offer TVR / IVP for donors that suit this procedure and farmers who prefer it. In association with ETS Ltd we can collect and process oocytes and also transfer the embryos either on your farm or into our recipients.
