Understanding Trans Ova’s Partnership Network

What It Means for Your Program

As Trans Ova has grown, so has the way we deliver services to producers. 

What once felt straightforward, working directly with a single team or location, has evolved into something more flexible. More accessible. And, at times, a little harder to understand from the outside. 

We’ve heard the questions: 

• Is this a Trans Ova location? 

• Who am I actually working with? 

• Are the results the same across locations? 

They’re fair questions. And they deserve clear answers. Because while the structure behind our network has expanded, the expectation hasn’t changed: 

You want consistent, reliable results, no matter where the work happens. 

You may hear us refer to these as Core, Network, Partner, or Extension locations. Here’s what each of those means for your program. 

Why This Model Exists 

Genetic progress doesn’t happen in one place. It happens on farms, across regions, and within programs that all look a little different. To support that, access matters just as much as the technology itself. 

Some producers need services close to home. Others rely on trusted local partners. Others are managing larger programs that span multiple locations. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. And there shouldn’t be. 

That’s why Trans Ova has built a network designed to meet producers where they are, while still maintaining the systems and standards that drive results. 

Every partnership is built with one goal in mind: 

Delivering consistent, reliable reproductive results, no matter where the work happens. 

Core Locations: Working Directly with Trans Ova 

At Core Locations, everything from the team to the lab to the day-to-day operations is fully owned and operated by Trans Ova. You’re working directly with Trans Ova employees, inside Trans Ova facilities, using Trans Ova systems from start to finish. 

These locations represent the most direct connection to Trans Ova’s full capabilities, including laboratory services, donor management, and program execution. 

For you, that means: 

• Direct access to Trans Ova personnel and expertise 

• Full alignment with Trans Ova protocols, processes, and quality standards 

• Centralized scheduling, communication, and program coordination 

• A fully integrated experience from collection to embryo production 

Network Locations: Local Operations, Backed by Trans Ova 

At Network Locations (satellites), facilities are independently owned, often by Trans Ova clients, but closely aligned with Trans Ova. These locations bring services closer to producers while operating in coordination with Trans Ova systems and support. 

While ownership is local, these teams work within a framework that emphasizes consistency, communication, and performance. 

For you, that means: 

• Local access to reproductive services and relationships you trust 

• Services supported by Trans Ova technology, protocols, and expertise 

• Ongoing coordination between the Network location and Trans Ova teams 

• A shared commitment to delivering consistent, reliable results 

Partner Locations: Independent Providers Working with Trans Ova 

At Partner Locations (PwPs), your primary relationship is with an independent provider who works alongside Trans Ova. These providers often utilize Trans Ova laboratory services and collaborate with our teams to support reproductive programs. 

This model allows producers to work with experienced professionals they know, while still accessing the capabilities and support behind Trans Ova. 

For you, that means: 

• A trusted, independent provider managing your day-to-day program 

• Access to Trans Ova lab services, technology, and expertise 

• Flexibility in how your program is structured and managed 

• A collaborative approach focused on delivering results 

“When you invest in a reproductive program, you’re not just choosing a location. You’re choosing the people, the systems, and the consistency behind the results. No matter where the work happens, that standard matters.” — Sara Kober, Trans Ova Genetics 

Extension Locations: Independent, Trained, and Aligned 

At Extension Locations, teams are not Trans Ova laboratories and are not staffed by Trans Ova employees. They are independently owned and operated, but aligned with Trans Ova through training, protocols, and technical guidance. 

These locations expand access into new regions while following established systems designed to support consistency and performance. 

For you, that means: 

• A locally managed, independent team operating within your region 

• Confidence that work is being performed using proven Trans Ova protocols and procedures 

• Teams trained and supported through Trans Ova systems and technical guidance 

• Expanded access to reproductive services where they may not have been available before 

What Doesn’t Change 

While the structure may look different depending on where you are or who you work with, the foundation behind it stays consistent. 

Across every part of the Trans Ova network, the focus remains the same: 

• Proven protocols built on decades of experience 

• Teams trained and supported through Trans Ova systems 

• A commitment to consistency in how work is performed 

• A focus on outcomes you can measure in your herd 

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about structure. It’s about results. 

Who You Should Contact 

One key takeaway: 

How you schedule depends on where you work within the Trans Ova Network. 

• Core and Network Sites are scheduled directly through Trans Ova. 

• Partner and Extension Sites are scheduled directly with that provider. 

No matter the path, your program is supported by Trans Ova systems, training, and standards to help ensure consistent results. 

Built to Expand Access. Designed to Deliver Results. 

This model wasn’t built to make things more complicated, it was built to make progress more accessible. 

More access to services. More flexibility in how programs are run. More opportunity to move your herd forward. 

All while staying grounded in the experience, systems, and standards that drive results. 

Because progress doesn’t happen by chance. It happens when the right people, the right technology, and the right systems come together, wherever you are.
