Exclusive Services
We are a full service embryo transfer practice with the ability to house donors. We perform both conventional embryo recoveries and IVF. See below for other services performed by Greeneline Genetics.
1
Conventional Embryo Transfer
Cattle are given a series of FSH stimulatory injections and inseminated and fertilized embryos are collected 7 days after ovulation. These embryos can be transferred fresh or frozen for transfer at a later date. The set up, insemination and collection can be done on your farm or the donor can be housed at Greeneline Genetics facility to perform all tasks.
2
IVF
We perform Ovum Pick Up (OPU) in Mt. Hermon, LA bi-monthly. Oocytes collected are then transported to Trans-Ova in Bryan, TX to be fertilized in a controlled lab setting and incubated until either shipped back fresh for transfer or frozen for transfer at a later date. IVF requires much planning and coordination so please contact us well in advance to your desired date and so that we can schedule and coordinate with the lab in Texas.

Breeding Soundness Evaluations
One of the most important tools is your herd sire. We feel strongly that getting these herd sires checked prior to breeding season is part of good herd management. Dr. Gary and Dr. Matt are members of the American College of Theriogenologists and Society for Therogenologists respectively and follow the strict guidelines established by these organizations. We can perform this service on the farm or at our facility in Mt. Hermon, LA

Artificial Insemination
Artificial insemination has been the backbone of the animal reproduction world to help advance genetic value to your entire calf crop. We can help tailor synchronization schedules for your specific needs and perform AI services for you- haul in and haul out or for large projects we can come to you.

Pregnancy Evaluation
Utilizing both palpation and ultrasound technology we can readily deterimine the pregnancy status of your cattle. With ultrasound we can reliably detect pregnancies as soon as 30 days of gestation.
