Ovohorse and Ovoclone: Leading the way in the application of science and technology in animal genetics
Enrique Criado Scholz, CEO of the Grupo OVO.
Ovoclone and Ovohorse are pioneering companies in animal genetics and reproduction, transforming the future of genetic preservation. As part of the prestigious Grupo OVO, both companies combine advanced technology, scientific expertise, and an innovative vision to offer solutions to elite animal owners, from high-performance horses to pets.
Ovoclone has developed advanced methods in cloning and cell cryopreservation. These procedures allow the cloning of genetically identical animals, ensuring their health and longevity. Ovoclone covers various species, such as dogs, cats, horses, and camels, responding to the demand of owners who wish to preserve unique characteristics of their specimens. Cloning not only reproduces exceptional animals but also preserves the genetic legacy of those that played an important role, whether in breeding, competitions, or daily life. The company is led by Enrique Criado Scholz, an embryologist with extensive experience in human assisted reproduction, and a team of specialists in animal genetics.
On the other hand, Ovohorse specialises in the reproduction of high-performance horses. Equine genetics is vital in sectors such as equestrianism, dressage, or racing, and Ovohorse's services improve the genetic quality of new generations.
Grupo OVO is known for its technological innovations. Among them is an advanced system for the transport of embryos and biological samples, which ensures their integrity through a telematic traceability system. This system monitors the location and conditions of each sample during transport.
One of Ovohorse's most notable innovations is its auction application, which allows users to access clones and embryos of high genetic quality horses directly from their mobile devices. This platform democratizes access to elite genetics and promotes competitiveness among breeders, ensuring that the most exceptional specimens are available to those looking to improve their lineages. Additionally, it facilitates a dynamic market where breeders can acquire the genetics of world champions, something previously reserved for a select circle of individuals.
Ovoclone has also launched Ovoclone Pets, a service dedicated to the cloning of companion animals. This service includes cell preservation through the secure storage of pet samples, allowing their future cloning. Thus, owners can preserve the genetic essence of their companions, enabling them to keep the memory of their beloved animals alive. Pet cloning becomes a significant alternative for many people, offering the possibility of maintaining a special bond with their animals in a way that previously seemed impossible.
In addition to its technical work, Grupo OVO promotes the training of new professionals through its Ovolearning platform. This tool offers theoretical and practical courses in assisted reproduction, taught by the group's specialists, training specialists and experts in the most innovative techniques.
The impact of these companies goes beyond the reproduction and genetic preservation of elite animals, with crucial implications for the conservation of endangered species. Their work helps preserve the genetic heritage of these species and prevent the loss of their biological diversity.
