Genetic preservation for horses
Protect their genetic legacy.
A responsible way to preserve your horse’s genetic information and keep future possibilities open.
Genetic preservation
49 €
/ month + VAT
Biopsy, kit and transport charged separately.
Ideal for
- Sport, breeding or companion horses
- Valuable bloodlines
- Any breed and age
Who it's for
Different profiles, one goal: preservation.
Private owners
Preserving the genetic information of a horse that is special to you.
Sport professionals
Keeping material from competition horses available.
Breeders
Preserving valuable bloodlines for the future of your breeding programme.
Breeding programmes
Having a cell bank as part of your planning.
Cell lines
A heritage that can live on.
Genetic preservation makes it possible to store cells from highly valuable horses and keep bloodlines available that would otherwise be lost.
It is not a guarantee of sporting or breeding results: it is the preservation of cell material so that future decisions remain possible.
- A simple procedure, carried out by your vet
- Cell culture and cryopreservation in our laboratory
- Specialist advice in equine genetics
The process
How the sample is obtained and stored.
01
Sample collection
A small skin biopsy taken by your vet.
02
Shipping
The sample reaches the laboratory under the required conditions.
03
Cell culture
We isolate and culture the cells and, when viable, fibroblasts.
04
Cryopreservation
We store the cells obtained at very low temperatures.
Transparent pricing

Two different services
Preservation is not cloning
Preservation means storing your animal’s cells today. Cloning is one possible future use of those cells, but it is a separate service with its own process, timeline and assessment.
Genetic preservation
Cloning
What it is
Genetic preservation
Storing viable cells from the animal
Cloning
Producing a new animal from preserved cells
When
Genetic preservation
Can be done today, while the animal is healthy
Cloning
A later decision, if you wish
Result
Genetic preservation
Cryopreserved cell material
Cloning
An animal with the same nuclear genetic information, with its own personality
Guarantees
Genetic preservation
Does not guarantee future cloning
Cloning
Each case requires a specific assessment

On request
Horses of any breed, age and discipline. We assess each case in the initial consultation.
While the horse is healthy. If the situation is urgent, call us on +34 633 87 21 83.
Cell processing and culture, fibroblast isolation when viable and cryopreservation. The biopsy is performed and invoiced by your vet; the kit and transport are quoted separately depending on your location.
It will share the same nuclear genetic information, but performance also depends on environment, schooling, training and other factors. It cannot be guaranteed.
