🧬 The future of small ruminant reproduction in New Zealand!

RSG is working with Trans Ova Genetics in the USA toward bringing in vitro embryo production (IVP) to sheep and goats in New Zealand.

Using Laparoscopic O**m Pick-Up (LOPU), oocytes can be collected from elite females and fertilised in the laboratory, creating the potential for more embryos, more quickly, and accelerated genetic progress.

Stay tuned as we continue working toward bringing this technology to New Zealand!

📣 We’re getting ready to launch our new inventory platform, designed to provide an improved way to manage semen and embryo inventory stored with RSG.

Keep an eye on your inbox and our social pages for more information as we get closer to launch. 🧬

🌡️ Never refrigerate or expose to excessive heat
🔄 Rotate tubes morning and night
☀️ Keep stored in a clean, dark, cool environment
📅 For best results, use within 4 days of processing

🔬 From Lorenzo’s Desk | What is a CASA Test?

CASA, or Computer Assisted S***m Analysis, uses specialized technology to evaluate important characteristics of a semen sample, including:

🧬 S***m concentration
🔬 Total motility
➡️ Progressive motility

But passing CASA parameters alone doesn’t tell the entire story. A reliable s***m morphology test is also essential, and not all CASA systems produce the same results.

At RSG New Zealand, three straws from every batch of semen produced are independently tested by Ash Scientific, a third-party laboratory that has been ICAR proficiency tested this year.

The takeaway? When evaluating semen quality, look beyond the numbers—ask for both a post-thaw CASA report from an ICAR proficiency-tested system and a morphological normality report.

Stay tuned for more insights from Lorenzo Frers, RSG Head of Laboratories!
