Horse cloning
Science in service of a unique legacy.
Horse cloning makes it possible to produce a new horse with the same nuclear genetic information as the original: a way to preserve exceptional bloodlines.
- High-value bloodlines
- Sport and breeding horses
- Nuclear transfer in our own laboratory
- Support at every stage
Applications
An option for the present and the future.
Cloning opens up possibilities in equine breeding, especially for animals of exceptional genetic, sporting or breeding value.
High-value horses
Sport, breeding or valuable bloodlines.
Preserving bloodlines
Keeping exceptional genetics available.
How it's done
The cloning process.
An assisted reproduction technique that combines biotechnology with rigorous scientific control.
Donor cells. The process starts with your horse’s previously preserved cells.
Nuclear transfer. The nucleus of one of those cells is placed into an egg cell whose own nucleus has been removed.
Embryo development. The embryo is cultured in the laboratory under controlled conditions.
Pregnancy and birth. The embryo is transferred to a surrogate mare, who carries the pregnancy to term.
In all honesty
What cloning can and cannot offer.
What it can offer
- A horse with the same nuclear genetic information as the original
- A physical resemblance that is usually very close
- The continuation of a valuable bloodline
What it cannot offer
- The original animal's memories or experiences
- An identical personality: environment and upbringing play a part
- A guaranteed result in every case
Animal welfare at every stage
We follow veterinary and laboratory procedures focused on the welfare of every animal involved in the process, including the surrogate female. We explain each stage before you make any decision.
Yes, or a viable sample must be available. If you have not preserved them yet, that is the first step.
It will share the same nuclear genetic information, but performance also depends on schooling, training, management and other factors. It cannot be guaranteed.
It depends on each case and on the length of the pregnancy. We will give you personalised information.
It can be. Each case requires a specific assessment, which we carry out with you.
