Conservation

ViaGen Pets is using its groundbreaking technology to advance the cause of animal conservation.

On December 10, 2020, ViaGen Pets, in collaboration with the United States Fish and Wildlife service and nonprofit Revive & Restore, successfully cloned for the first time a wild black-footed ferret.  The clone was created from a ferret that had died more than 30 years ago.

On August 6, 2020, ViaGen Pets, working with the San Diego Global Zoo, successfully cloned for the first time the endangered Przewalski’s horse.  The clone was created from a horse that was cryopreserved in 1980 by the zoo.
