Clonargen Biotech

Leading the Future of Equine Cloning

We are a team of dedicated professionals leading the field of equine cloning and horse genetic editing. Our mission is to preserve and enhance the legacy of horses with exceptional genetic characteristics through advanced animal cloning techniques, genetic material preservation, and embryo cryopreservation, supporting horse breeders in developing elite horses with significant genetic impact.

20 year of expertise in equine cloning

In 2007, we successfully cloned Ciruelo, the 2006 Palermo Grand Champion Bull of the Brangus Colorado breed, marking a key milestone in our equine cloning journey. This breakthrough led to the establishment of Clonargen Biotech in 2011, making us Argentina’s first horse cloning company. In 2013, we further cemented our leadership with the birth of Clone 01 of Hannah Montana, the first Polo Argentino horse clone. With over 20 years of expertise in horse cloning, animal cloning, and genetic material preservation, we have significantly impacted horse breeding and supported horse breeders in developing elite horses. Our advanced embryo cryopreservation and genetic editing techniques ensure a substantial genetic impact within the equine industry, fostering the creation of horses with exceptional genetic characteristics for future generations.

our services

At Clonargen Biotech, we offer a range of equine reproductive biotechnology services focused on preserving and replicating genetic excellence. Our services include cloning, genetic preservation, neonatal care, and the global distribution of genetic material. We are committed to supporting each horse's development and ensuring the future of high-performance equine genetics.

Genetic Bank

We store over 400 historically significant equine specimens in our Genetic Bank, ensuring the preservation of valuable genetic material for future horse breeding and animal cloning projects. Our Genetic Bank plays a crucial role in maintaining genetic diversity and supporting the advancement of equine cloning technologies.

Embryo Cryopreservation

Embryo Cryopreservation is a powerful tool that decouples embryo production timing and location from the transfer process. This advanced technique ensures the availability of high-quality embryos for equine cloning and horse breeding, significantly enhancing the genetic impact of breeding programs.

Stem Cell Generation and Cryopreservation

We develop and apply cutting-edge protocols to generate and cryopreserve stem cells for use in equine cloning and regenerative therapies. Our expertise in stem cell generation supports horse breeders in advancing animal cloning and genetic material preservation, driving innovation in biotech equine applications.

Equine Cloning

At Clonargen Biotech, we utilize advanced equine cloning techniques to create genetically identical clones, preserving excellence across all equine disciplines. Our equine cloning services support horse breeding by maintaining the genetic quality of elite horses, ensuring their exceptional traits endure for future generations. Leveraging state-of-the-art animal cloning technologies and precise genetic material preservation, we collaborate closely with horse breeders to produce superior horses. Our comprehensive approach, including embryo cryopreservation, ensures a significant genetic impact on the equine industry by fostering the creation of elite horses that inspire and lead future generations.

Genetic Editing

Utilizing advanced transgenesis and gene editing techniques, we enhance horse genetics and develop solutions for both animal cloning and human medicine. Our genetic editing services improve specific traits in horses, strengthening horse breeding programs and contributing to a substantial genetic impact within the equine sector.

Neonatal Care for Clones

We manage the care of foals from birth through weaning in our dedicated Equine Neonatology Unit, equipped with expansive green spaces for optimal care. Our specialized neonatal care services ensure the healthy development of cloned horses, supporting horse breeders in raising elite horses with robust beginnings.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

ICSI is a powerful technique for producing embryos from high-value donors, offering advantages such as year-round embryo production and the use of sexed semen. For every 100 embryos produced through ICSI, we achieve a 75% pregnancy success rate, enhancing horse breeding and equine cloning efforts by providing reliable and efficient embryo creation methods

Every horse is a story worth listening to, but more importantly, a new story to be told.

100%passion in the process.
