Vytelle expands network of bovine IVF laboratories with opening in Hamilton, New Zealand

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- Vytelle is progressing on a five-year plan, initiated at the conclusion of its Series A funding to provide accessible hormone-free bovine in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to producers globally.

Part of the five-year plan, included doubling the laboratory capacity to produce bovine embryos through in vitro fertilisation.

According to a statement, the company announced opening a laboratory in Hamilton, New Zealand.

“New Zealand livestock producers can rely on hormone-free IVF technology to replicate the genetics from their elite donors faster than traditional methods we’ve been accustomed to using,” said Andrew Donoghue, Regional Manager for Australia and New Zealand for Vytelle.

“Since Vytelle produces the media used to culture the oocytes into embryos, producers can be assured embryos are produced consistently with rigid quality standards.”

Vytelle's integrated technology platform combines Vytelle ADVANCE, a breakthrough in vitro fertilisation technology, with Vytelle SENSE, an animal performance data capture system, and Vytelle INSIGHT, an artificial intelligence-based genetic analytics engine.

The platform provides progressive cattle producers the technology to make reliable data-driven mating decisions that improve the predictability of genetic progress replicating the right genetics faster.

The New Zealand-based laboratory will utilise Vytelle’s modern hormone-free in vitro fertilisation process including their proprietary media – developed in-house – that results in high-quality embryos for producers to implant fresh or frozen into recipient cows.

New Zealand livestock producers can take advantage of the hormone-free IVF process today by scheduling an on-farm ovum pick-up.
