WHAT IS IVP?
In Vitro Embryo Production (IVP) is a well known and accepted method of producing embryos from post-puberty heifers and from adult cows in the laboratory. The eggs or oocytes are collected directly from the ovaries of the donor cows and fertilised in the laboratory with selected semen. Eggs are grown in the laboratory up to the transferable stage when they are transferred into recipient cows.

The technology is simple and safe. IVP differs from the conventional multiple ovulation and embryo flushing system (MOET) in that in the IVP system we harvest the eggs directly from the donor’s ovaries and the embryos are produced in the laboratory. Whereas in the MOET system, the embryos are formed and grown inside the donor cow and are then flushed out to be transferred into recipients.
