To submit your story or event for published consideration, email:traffic@tnh1865.com Minitube International has achieved a scientific breakthrough that will allow for genetic testing and preservation of equine embryos. The world's first foal from a biopsied and vitrified embryo transferred into a surrogate mare was born on Wednesday, January 27, 2010, at Minitube International Center for Biotechnology in Mount Horeb, WI. Both the mother, Lola, and foal are doing well. The birth of Biopsita marks a new era in horse breeding, providing horse breeders with an opportunity to directly test embryos for genetic traits, including gender, coat color, genetic diseases, etc., and select desirable genetics from stallion and mare combinations. The study will be presented at the 10th International Symposium on Equine Reproduction being held in Kentucky this July. |
