OUR SERVICES
At SVS Repro, we offer a comprehensive suite of services to help you achieve your herd improvement goals. From donor management to embryo transfer, every step is tailored to meet your specific needs. Our advanced bovine IVF services combine cutting-edge science with hands-on expertise, ensuring optimal results for every producer. Whether you’re looking to preserve elite genetics, accelerate genetic progress, or expand your herd with precision, SVS Repro is your trusted partner in bovine reproduction.
IN VITRO FERTILIZATION & EMBRYO TRANSFER SERVICES
Our IVF and ET services are designed to maximize your herd’s genetic potential with precision and efficiency. Using advanced ovum pick-up (OPU) techniques, we collect oocytes from your high-value donor cows and fertilize them in a controlled lab environment to produce viable embryos. These embryos are then either frozen for future use or transferred into recipient animals for optimal growth and development. Our embryo transfer process ensures a high success rate, enabling you to produce more offspring from your elite genetics while reducing the need for multiple pregnancies in your donor animals. With SVS Repro, you can grow your herd, preserve superior traits, and achieve your breeding goals with unmatched expertise.
-
What is bovine in vitro fertilization (IVF)?Bovine IVF is a process where eggs are collected from a donor cow and fertilized with semen in a controlled laboratory environment. The resulting embryos are then transferred to recipient cows or frozen for future use.
-
What is embryo transfer (ET)?Embryo transfer is the process of placing a fertilized embryo into a recipient cow's uterus, enabling her to carry and deliver the calf.
-
How is IVF different from conventional flushing?IVF involves fertilizing the oocyte outside the cow's body in a lab, while conventional flushing typically involves fertilization inside the donor cow after insemination.
-
What are the benefits of IVF and ET?These technologies allow for genetic improvement, faster herd expansion, preservation of valuable genetics, and increased pregnancy rates with fewer donor animals.
-
Can a pregnant cow be used as a donor?Yes, cows can be aspirated for oocytes during early pregnancy, typically up to 100 days but can only be collected through IVF.
-
How often can a donor female be aspirated?Donor cows can typically undergo ovum pickup (OPU) every 14 days, depending on their health and reproductive condition.
-
What is the success rate of pregnancies in recipient cows?Pregnancy rates vary but typically range from 40% to 60% depending on the quality of the embryos, health of the recipient, and other factors.
DONOR HOUSING & MANAGEMENT
At SVS Repro, we understand that the success of any reproductive program starts with exceptional donor care. Our donor housing partners and management services provide a stress-free, controlled environment to optimize donor health and productivity. From tailored nutrition plans to meticulous health monitoring, our approach ensures your donors are in peak condition for ovum pick-up (OPU). With a focus on comfort, well-being, and performance, our team works closely with you to develop a management plan that maximizes results while keeping your donors healthy and thriving. Trust SVS Repro to provide the care and expertise your valuable donors deserve.

REPRODUCTIVE ULTRASOUNDS & FETAL SEXING
SVS Repro offers advanced reproductive ultrasounding and fetal sexing services to give you precise insights into your herd's reproductive health and performance. Using state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, we can confirm pregnancies early, monitor fetal development, and determine the sex of your calves with accuracy. These services allow you to make informed decisions about breeding strategies, optimize calving schedules, and better manage your herd’s future. With our skilled team and commitment to precision, SVS Reproduction ensures you have the information you need to maximize the productivity and profitability of your operation.
