  • Different assisted reproductive and biotechnology techniques are used to Produce disease-free Cape buffalo calves to replace the diminishing.
  • numbers of this species dying of tuberculosis in our game parks.
  • Store genetic material of wildlife and valuable livestock and pet species for future cloning procedures.
  • Produce test tube animal babies where natural breeding of the species is not possible.
  • Collect and store animal stem cells from valuable animals like racehorses and superior male animals.
  • Apply stem cell therapies for the regeneration of torn and damaged tendons.
  • Develop animal models for the study of the therapeutic use of stem cells in human medicine.
  • Investigate alternative methods of somatic and stem cell culture, e.g. under weightlessness conditions.
