IVF Lab Update

RSG TO Sign CRV

RSG New Zealand has officially launched its advanced in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory for cattle in Hamilton, New Zealand, through a strategic affiliation with Trans Ova Genetics, one of the global leaders in advanced reproductive technologies. The lab is now fully operational, and embryo production is progressing successfully, marking a new era of reproductive excellence for New Zealand’s cattle industry.

Operating as RSG New Zealand, a Trans Ova affiliate location, this collaboration delivers world-class embryo production and cutting-edge reproductive solutions directly to New Zealand producers.

RSG team members completed intensive training in the United States, supported by onsite expertise in New Zealand, resulting in a seamless setup and smooth operations.

“We are thrilled to see the lab fully up and running with production already going strong,” said Daina Harris, Embryo Production & Team Lead at RSG. “Our connection with Trans Ova ensures producers in this region have direct access to proven IVF technologies, tailored to meet the needs of one of the most progressive cattle industries in the world.”

Benefits to New Zealand Cattle Producers

The new IVF lab is already delivering value by providing:

  • Consistent, high-quality embryo production modeled on Trans Ova’s proven success in North America.
  • Access to Trans Ova’s exclusive technologies, offering advanced science and performance to local herds.
  • Local embryo services such as ovum pick-up, fertilization, and embryo transfer, reducing the need for international travel or delays.
  • Reliable support and oversight, with ongoing consulting and data benchmarking to maintain quality standards.
  • Expansion of genetic potential, enabling producers to improve herd quality and reproductive efficiency more rapidly.

RSG New Zealand is proud to bring world-class reproductive solutions closer to home, offering cattle producers across the country new opportunities to accelerate herd improvement and long-term success.
