Welcome to ICPBio Reproduction

Many of you know that ICPbio International was in receivership in 2008. During that time very little new production occurred. I am glad to announce that effective August 17, 2008 Edward’s Agri-Sales Inc. acquired the assets for the embryo transfer portion of the ICPbio business from the receivership. The new company will operate under the name ICPbio Reproduction. The acquisition includes all intellectual property for the EMCARE™ brand flush and small media products including BSA (bovine serum albumin) as well as the Ovagen™ brand FSH product and other assets of the embryo transfer portion of the former ICPbio International business.

The EMCARE™ flush and small media products will all be produced in the U.S. initially. Other production locations will be added as needed. We are working toward having EMCARE™ products back in production by the end of February 2009. Ovagen™ production will continue to be based in New Zealand due to the disease free status of the country and the availability of raw materials for the production of Ovagen which is derived from lambs. New Ovagen production will take considerably longer due to the time required for validation of a new facility and the corresponding product from a new facility. We anticipate having new production available no later than May of 2009 due to the manufacturing lead time and validation testing.

The new ICPbio Reproduction Company is committed to the embryo transfer business. We anticipate adding additional products to the ICPbio Reproduction offering in the future. These could include new pharmaceutical products as well as other accessories required for successful embryo transfer procedures for horse, cattle and other species when appropriate.
