Assisted reproduction
in other species

Beyond its excellence in equine reproduction, Avantea is also a leading centre for assisted reproduction in other species, particularly cattle and buffalo, applying the most advanced technologies to maximise reproductive efficiency and enhance the genetic potential of breeding programmes.

Ovum Pick-Up + In Vitro Fertilization

Decades of experience in scientific research

We offer tailored solutions for breeders and breeding centres, using innovative techniques such as Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).

What does it involve?

  • OPU is a technique that allows immature oocytes to be retrieved directly from the donor’s ovaries without the need for hormonal treatments.

  • IVF is a technique involving the maturation and fertilisation of oocytes in the laboratory using semen from the selected bull.
