How can I preserve the genetics of my elite animal indefinitely?

To preserve an elite animal’s genetics, a tissue sample is collected from the ear or tail and cultured into a cell linethrough Genetic Preservation (GP). These cells are cryopreserved for future use in the cloning process.

For a more economical option, the Express Tissue Bank (ETB) allows producers to store a large number of samples or keep genetic material on hand without an immediate cloning commitment. In this program, the tissue sample is frozen intact and can later be cultured into a GP cell line if cloning is desired.
