STRUTHERS Updates....
Came across this GREAT INFO and thought I would post it here.....
Porcine Embryo Transfer Now A Reality!
Struthers has accomplished the seemingly impossible—porcine embryo transfer.
Simply put, it is the ability to remove an embryo from a genetically superior animal and
introduce it into a surrogate host.
Years of research by Struthers has culminated in a commercially successful embryo
transfer process which is now available world wide.
Their exclusive storage method enables transportation of the embryos to remote
locations and implantation to take place up to 72 hours after the initial harvesting.
Prior to Struthers’ achievement, embryo transfer was available to all other livestock
industries except porcine.
The unique physiological structure of pigs made the process much more complicated
and storage of embryos was a significant problem.
Struthers solved both these dilemmas and is ready to market their embryo transfer
technology.
Struthers has been able to harvest embryos and oocytes (eggs) from freshly slaughtered
carcasses.
This determines whether the embryos will be of the top quality needed for transfer.
Implantation of the embryos into the surrogate host is accomplished by either open
abdominal surgery or laparoscopy .
After removal, the embryos are thoroughly cleansed in sterile solutions to ensure that
virtually all disease-causing pathogens are eliminated.
Prevention of diseases is easily accomplished through embryo transfer technology.
Struthers technology allows for a herd of 600 to be transported, in embryo form, at the
cost of one transatlantic airline ticket for the persona accompanying the shipment.
Embryo transfer changes a herds bloodlines in only one generation.
Governments around the world are lining up for the opportunity to improve the
quality of their pork and lessen the disease risk to their local hog producers with
embryo transfer.
Struthers has also created a state-of-the-art mobile operating theatre designed for
embryo transfers.
This enables Struthers to advance their breeding program without losing any stock
creating a perfect union with their embryo transfer technology.
These farms will be breeding animals to harvest the large number of embryos that will be
required to satisfy the demand.
