IVP delivers all the benefits of traditional MOET in enabling Simmental breeders to exploit the value of their high
genetic merit animals, however it has many more advantages which in turn result in IVP being a more time
efficient, more cost effective and more welfare friendly service for your donors. AB Europe provides both an onfarm
and on-centre collection service performed by highly skilled, experienced and approachable staff.
