Pioneering a New Era in Livestock Genetics
When you think about how food production has changed over the past few decades, one concept stands out: connectivity. Not just digital networks, but the way agricultural technology now connects breeders, genetics, and markets across the globe. At SMART Reproduction, we’re not just watching these changes—we’re making them happen.
Our facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas, isn’t just any livestock genetics center. As the first USDA-inspected and approved, multi-country, European Union, and UK certified small ruminant (sheep and goat) semen and embryo collection facility, we’ve dismantled barriers that used to block elite American genetics from reaching new markets. Here’s how our team is bridging continents, improving livelihoods, and shaping the future of animal agriculture.
Clearing the Way: Regulatory Approvals that Make Exports Easy
Exporting animal genetics involves a minefield of regulations. Every country has its own requirements for disease control, identification, recordkeeping, and transport. In the past, these hurdles shut down promising opportunities for both American breeders and international buyers.
SMART Reproduction solved these challenges head-on. By attaining USDA inspection and earning certifications for top-tier markets like the European Union and the United Kingdom, we’ve made it much easier for American small ruminant genetics to travel legally and efficiently to almost anywhere in the world. This multi-market regulatory framework simplifies the export process, slashes bureaucratic delays, and reassures foreign buyers that every shipment meets their strictest standards.
For American breeders, this is a game-changer. It means that animals carefully selected over generations can now influence flocks and herds continents away—all with the confidence that comes from robust compliance and oversight.
Powering Progress Through Partnerships
Global change takes more than one facility or one country. That’s why SMART Reproduction is all about partnerships.
We work directly with private breeders, but our reach goes a lot further. By collaborating with international governments and nonprofit organizations, we ensure our genetics deliver real solutions for local challenges. A standout example is our partnership with Winrock International, which is helping to boost the productivity of indigenous goat herds
in Nepal. 
Partnerships like these multiply the impact of American genetics. With every straw of semen or embryo we export, we’re not just boosting animal performance—we’re strengthening food security, helping develop sustainable farming enterprises, and improving rural economies for the long term.
Technology that Drives Global Expansion
Opening new markets isn’t just about paperwork and partnerships—it’s about delivering top results. SMART Reproduction relies on the latest in reproductive technology to maximize the effectiveness (and value) of every shipment.
Modern artificial insemination (AI) and embryo transfer techniques mean breeders in remote or resource-limited settings can still access the productivity, health, and adaptability advantages of American livestock genetics. In industry-wide trials, AI regularly produces conception rates of 50–60%, even with challenged infrastructure. More pregnancies mean more lambs and kids, which in turn means faster, broader improvement in local flocks and herds.
And we’re not stopping at AI. The future includes genetic screening, genome editing, and precision-tracked performance data. Each added layer of technology helps ensure that international buyers are getting the most advanced, predictable, and sustainable improvements possible for their investment. 
Speaking the Language of Success
Exporting is about more than moving products; it’s about building relationships. One key to SMART Reproduction’s international expansion is our commitment to language and cultural competence.
Our team includes Portuguese and Spanish speakers, and we make sure that marketing materials, technical documents, and after-sale support are available in a variety of languages. For customers in Latin America, Southern Europe, and beyond, this means real-time answers to technical questions, smooth training sessions, and forging new friendships as well as business deals.
It’s a small touch with big impact—helping producers around the world feel confident and supported as they introduce elite genetics into their own breeding programs.
What This Means for the Global Marketplace
Here’s why this matters: demand for sheep and goat products is rising sharply on a worldwide scale. As countries grow and populations shift, everyone—from smallholder farmers in Africa to industrial producers in Asia—needs reliable, high-yield livestock. This creates a booming market for elite genetics that boost growth rates, increase fertility, and improve disease resistance.
SMART Reproduction is uniquely positioned to meet these needs. By exporting semen and embryos backed by meticulous genetic selection and world-class disease control, we’re helping fill protein gaps, create new income for farm families, and support countries in their quest for food security and climate resilience.
And the fact that our genetics come from highly adaptable, performance-tested American breeds means customers from diverse climates (from alpine Nepal to tropical Brazil) can trust that improvements will last.
The Future Is Connected: Continuous Improvement and Market Growth
We know that the livestock world changes fast. Consumer tastes evolve, environmental conditions shift, and new breeding objectives pop up every season. That’s why SMART Reproduction is committed to constant innovation and staying ahead of emerging trends.
Our deep roots in science and technology, combined with real-world partnerships and market awareness, help us anticipate opportunities and hurdles—so breeders across the globe can count on reliable access to world-class genetics, now and for years to come.
