In the field of equestrian competition, each horse is the result of years of dedication and training, as well as a carefully selected genetic lineage. Dressage, show jumping, and other discipline horses are not only exceptional athletes but also carriers of a valuable genetic heritage. At Ovoclone, we understand the importance of preserving this unique genetics and offer advanced solutions to ensure that their legacy endures.
Why Preserve the Cell Lines of Your Competition Horse?
Cell line preservation is an essential preventive measure that ensures the protection of your horse’s genetic information against any eventuality. In the event of unexpected accidents or health problems, having a genetic copy of your horse allows cloning to be considered as a viable option to maintain its exceptional characteristics.
At Ovoclone, we prioritise animal welfare in all our procedures. With a simple biopsy of between 2 and 4 mm, we can store your horse’s genetic sample in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees, ensuring that the DNA remains intact indefinitely. This technique not only preserves the genetic material but also allows the animal to be cloned in the future without impediments.
Uses of Cell Line Preservation
Cell line preservation has multiple applications. In addition to cloning in the event of the loss of the animal, this technique allows breeding programmes to be maintained and improved. With preserved genetics, breeders can select and combine desirable traits, thus ensuring the continuity of exceptional lineages. It is also useful in scientific and veterinary research, enabling the study of genetic diseases and the development of personalised treatments that could improve the health and performance of competition horses.
Economic and Technological Benefits of Preservation
Cloning has advanced significantly since the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996, with costs having been reduced by half since then. As technology continues to evolve, costs will continue to decrease, making cloning an increasingly accessible option.
