  • Wayne Allard, a U.S.
. The training will be a collaborative effort undertaken with industry experts at the University of Missouri.

The training's emphasis will focus on the utilization of Struthers' defined embryo culture media as well as advanced surgical techniques for both the retrieval and implantation of "clean" embryos into surrogate sows. The teams will also be trained in the use of Ovarian Ultrasonography ultrasonography /ul·tra·so·nog·ra·phy/ (-so-nog´rah-fe) the imaging of deep structures of the body by recording the echoes of pulses of ultrasonic waves directed into the tissues and reflected by tissue planes where there is a change in . Ovarian Ultrasonography is a new means of detecting reproductive disease and determining ideal times for embryo collection. Ultrasonography is highly complementary to Struthers's existing embryo transfer technology. Through its implementation, Struthers is able to augment its already advanced embryo transfer technology by, in effect, prescreening for diseased animals.

Separately, the Company announced that it has recently joined the International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS IETS International Embryo Transfer Society
IETS Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy
IETS Interim European Telecommunications Standard (also seen as I-ETS)
