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, jumping, and other competition horses are not only exceptional athletes but also carriers of 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?
Cellular line preservation is an essential preventive measure that ensures the protection of your horse’s genetic information against any unforeseen circumstances. In the case of unexpected accidents or health issues, having a genetic copy of your horse allows for cloning to be considered as a viable option to maintain its exceptional traits.
At Ovoclone, we prioritize animal welfare in all our procedures. With a simple biopsy ranging from 2 to 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 for the future cloning of the animal without obstacles.
Uses of Cell Line Preservation
Cellular line preservation has multiple applications. In addition to cloning in case of animal loss, this technique allows for the maintenance and improvement of breeding programs. With preserved genetics, breeders can select and combine desirable traits, ensuring the continuity of exceptional bloodlines. It is also useful in scientific and veterinary research, enabling the study of genetic diseases and the development of personalized 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 reduced by half since then. As technology continues to evolve, costs will continue to decrease, making cloning an increasingly accessible option.
Agreement with the Royal Spanish Equestrian Federation
In an exciting development, Ovoclone has signed an agreement with the Real Federación Hípica Española for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This agreement underscores our commitment to equestrian sports and ensures that elite competition horses have access to the best technology for cellular line preservation. This joint effort not only protects the genetic legacy of the participating horses but also opens new possibilities for the future of equestrian sports.
Ovoclone Biopsy Kit
To make the process easier, we offer a biopsy kit that your trusted veterinarian can use to collect the sample and send it to our laboratories. You can request the kit by calling +34 633 87 21 83 or by sending an email to info@ovoclone.com.
Cellular line preservation is a preventive guarantee and an investment in the future of your competition horse. At Ovoclone, we combine advanced technology with a deep respect for animal welfare, offering a service that maximizes the chances of preserving the genetic legacy of your equestrian champions.
