Innovis import and export services for semen and embryos
Innovis is a centre of expertise and excellence in the export and import of genetics from sheep and from goats and a reference point for breeders, farmers, government departments and agencies alike. Most international movement of livestock genetics now occurs in the form of frozen semen or embryos, and so our import services enable sheep breeders to access a global resource.
Making importing and exporting sheep genetics easy for you
Innovis veterinarians and technical staff have a wealth of experience in import and export of semen and embryos from sheep and from goats. We work closely with Defra and international agencies to assist breeders who want to import or export semen and embryos; liaising with overseas breeding companies to facilitate the movement of genetics into our Defra-approved quarantine facilities in Malvern and Edinburgh.
Innovis staff assist and advise breeders through what can be a complicated paper trail to make your import or export movement run as smoothly as possible.
Experience worldwide
Innovis Centres have recently exported semen/embryos to numerous countries including Chile, Canada, Europe, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Romania and the USA. We continue to play an important role in enabling sheep breeders to further their links abroad and to increase semen and embryo sales. Imported semen and embryos, particularly from New Zealand, are maintaining popularity for creating new genetic input into the UK.
International movements take time so please seek advice well in advance if you are planning to import or export genetics.
