Further product development lead to the world's first piglets to be born using Struthers' proprietary non-surgical embryo transfer technique involving the use of the Gourley Scope TM. Struthers has since acquired Legred Struthers Genetics, Inc. a top 10 suppliers of porcine genetics, and constructed one of the Nations largest state-of-the-art boar stud facilities located in Minnesota. The Company acquired Muller AI, Inc. a nationally recognized retailer of artificial insemination products, and acquired Elite Visions, Inc. which developed the Gourley Scope TM and distributes the Company's Tender Prime TM line of naturally raised meat and other natural food products. Struthers also has alliances with meat processors and producers of pork, chicken, deer, and sheep.

Dr. Douglas W. Beatty, CEO of Struthers commenting on the operating results for the third quarter, stated, "this year reflects a rapid acceleration of our growth, for which we have invested extensively in a solid corporate platform through Company acquisitions and the development of new advanced reproductive biotechnology products and services. It has been an exciting year and we are pleased that Struthers continues to grow its animal producer network and revenue streams. Struthers has also invested in numerous animal husbandry production facilities to compete both nationally and internationally. I also expect further growth as we continue to develop and grow our distribution channels for our high-end naturally raised meat and other natural products for our wholesale and retail customers. Further expansion and sales internationally of our unique reproductive biotechnology system, in my opinion will reflect in a significant improvement in our growth and in the successful implementation of our global business plan."
