Services

Our Services at Genstoc Labs

Genstoc Labs offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to elevate livestock breeding standards across West Africa. Leveraging globally recognized techniques and technologies, our services focus on enhancing genetic quality, sustainability, and productivity in the livestock sector. Here’s an overview of what we offer:

Embryo Transfer Services
- Using state-of-the-art embryo transfer technology, Genstoc provides high-quality embryos from carefully selected donor cattle. Our process improves genetic diversity, allowing farmers to breed livestock with desirable traits like disease resistance, higher milk production, and adaptability to climate variations.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Our IVF service enables the production of multiple embryos from genetically superior females, increasing reproductive efficiency. This technique supports rapid genetic advancements, helping farmers achieve larger, healthier herds in less time.
Semen Collection and Artificial Insemination (AI)
- Genstoc Labs offers elite-quality semen collection and storage services for artificial insemination. Through this service, we ensure accessibility to top-tier genetics, which can be tailored to improve specific breed traits, optimize productivity, and enhance herd health.
Genetic Testing and Consultation
- We provide advanced genetic testing to help farmers understand and select for the traits that best suit their production needs. Our expert consultants offer personalized advice on breeding programs, helping farmers make informed decisions for long-term gains.
Training and Capacity Building
- Genstoc Labs is dedicated to knowledge-sharing and capacity building in the livestock sector. We offer hands-on training sessions for veterinarians, technicians, and farmers, equipping them with the skills to apply genetic technologies effectively and sustainably.
Cryopreservation and Storage
- We maintain a cryogenic storage facility for embryos and semen, ensuring secure, long-term preservation of genetic materials. This service supports breed improvement programs and offers farmers the flexibility to store and use genetics as needed.
Surrogacy Programs
- Our surrogacy programs facilitate breed improvements without disrupting local production systems. By using surrogate cows for embryo implantation, we enable farmers to raise genetically superior livestock without sacrificing their existing herd dynamics.

Each service at Genstoc Labs is designed with a focus on accessibility, scalability, and real-world impact. Our goal is to empower the West African livestock industry with the same genetic solutions used by leading embryo labs worldwide, driving a more sustainable, productive, and resilient future in agriculture.
