A Visionary Genetic Management Tool Genetic Preservation is one of the most visionary genetic management tools available to breeders today. Genetic Preservation is the act of sustaining an endless supply of DNA material from your superior cows and sires for future use. Developing a cell line on your animal is the only way to guarantee that you will have DNA material for an infinite amount of time.
Breeders wishing to preserve an individual take a small tissue sample from the animal.
From this tissue sample Cyagra processes and grows millions of fibroblast cells known as a cell line. Cells are placed in vials of at least one million each and then frozen in liquid nitrogen. After freezing, the cell line is stored at two separate Cyagra locations in the United States. Once a cell line has been established and preserved, you can thaw a vial of cells and continue growing the cell line at any time. The ultimate reason for cell lines is to create, at some point, a clone of the animal you are preserving.
