First Successful Goat Embryo Production in Pakistan by Team IRBG at Goat Pure Farms
A historic breakthrough has been achieved in Pakistan’s livestock and goat-farming sector. A team from the Institute of Reproductive Biotechnologies and Genomics (IRBG), in collaboration with Chinese experts, has successfully performed embryo production in goats first time in Pakistan. These embryos were successfully transferred to surrogate goats. Under this landmark initiative of goat embryo production in Pakistan, embryos from American and South African Boer breeds were produced locally at Goat Pure Farms.
First Successful Goat Embryo Production in Pakistan
Dr. Qaiser Shahzad, Chief Executive Officer of IRBG, stated that this achievement in goat embryo production and transfer marks a significant advancement in the field of modern veterinary biotechnology. The IRBG’s sub-division, ‘IRBG Elite Flock,’ is actively engaged in embryo production for sheep and goats. To facilitate the supply of embryos and semen, top-tier, record-holding Boer and Saanen bucks have been imported from the United States. He added that this success, attained at Goat Pure Farms in collaboration with Chinese experts, will pave the way for further innovation within the goat-farming sector.

He further noted that Goat Pure Farms is taking concrete steps to promote the adoption of advanced reproductive and production technologies in Pakistan’s goat-farming industry. Embryo technology will play a pivotal role in modern goat farming in Pakistan. The promotion of this advanced technology will help align Pakistan’s goat farming industry with contemporary global trends and enhance its export potential in the future.
This joint achievement by Goat Pure Farms and IRBG marks a significant step toward a new era of livestock biotechnology in Pakistan.
