STgenetics and Avantea announce an exclusive European collaboration combining semen sex sorting and advanced ICSI
Avantea and STgenetics have entered into an exclusive European collaboration bringing together STgenetics’ expertise in semen sex sorting and Avantea’s expertise in advanced equine assisted reproduction and ICSI.
The collaboration creates a new opportunity for breeders to integrate sex predetermination into advanced equine breeding programmes, combining sex-sorted equine semen with Avantea’s ICSI and embryo production expertise.
Combining complementary expertise
Through the collaboration, STgenetics will provide its semen sex-sorting technology, while Avantea will provide its advanced equine assisted reproduction and ICSI expertise.
Within the European territory covered by the agreement, STgenetics’ equine semen sex-sorting services for ICSI will be provided exclusively to Avantea, creating an integrated pathway for breeders wishing to use sex-sorted semen within an ICSI programme.
For STgenetics, the collaboration provides the opportunity to combine its sex-sorting technology with Avantea’s established expertise in equine assisted reproduction.
“Our sex-sorting technology has been developed to give breeders greater control over reproductive decisions. Working with Avantea allows us to combine this technology with their expertise in advanced equine assisted reproduction and bring a new opportunity to the European equine breeding market,” said Juan Samper, Global Director Equine Services at STgenetics. “Proposed quote – subject to spokesperson approval”
More choice in breeding decisions
At the heart of the collaboration is a simple objective: to give breeders more options when planning the next generation.
By integrating sex predetermination with ICSI, breeders can include the desired sex of future offspring as an additional consideration within their breeding strategy, alongside the other decisions involved in planning an advanced reproduction programme.
“For breeders, having more options means being able to make more informed decisions about the next generation. By combining sex-sorted semen with our expertise in advanced equine assisted reproduction and ICSI, this collaboration adds a new dimension to breeding strategy across Europe,” said Cesare Galli, co-founder of Avantea. “Proposed quote – subject to spokesperson approval”
For Avantea, the collaboration represents a further development of its advanced equine assisted reproduction services and expands the possibilities available to breeders using ICSI.
More choice for the next generation
The collaboration between STgenetics and Avantea brings sex-sorted equine semen and advanced ICSI together within an exclusive European framework, creating new possibilities for breeders, stallion owners and equine reproduction professionals.
