Our Story
From the outset, IGT was founded on a commitment to technical excellence and a deep understanding of the Australian cattle industry. Our journey began with a team of experts possessing extensive experience across all methods of bovine reproduction, driven by the goal of providing producers with more than just a service but a partnership in genetic gain.
Today, IGT is a leading Australian provider of advanced reproductive and genetic solutions for the livestock industry. Specialising in bovine IVF, embryo production, and elite genetic programs, IGT supports producers across both beef and dairy sectors to accelerate herd improvement, boost productivity, and enhance long-term sustainability.

Driven by integrity, professionalism, and continuous improvement, IGT is committed to helping our clients access the best possible technology and genetic outcomes. As the industry evolves, we remain dedicated to shaping the future of livestock reproduction through innovation, collaboration, and a passion for agricultural advancement.
IGT was established in Brisbane by co-founders Dr. Julio Ribeiro and Luiz Porto with a singular mission: to provide cattle producers with access to elite In Vitro Embryo Production (IVP). Driven by the need for more efficient genetic gain, they laid the groundwork for a new era in Australian livestock improvement. Their goal was clear: to deliver optimal outcomes by seamlessly bridging technical laboratory precision with practical field expertise.
Industry pioneer Dr. Ced Wise joined our mission, making a major investment that integrated decades of reproductive expertise and veterinary leadership into IGT. This partnership brought unrivalled technical precision to our operations, blending advanced laboratory science with deep industry credibility to solidify IGT as a market leader in reproductive technologies.
As the industry shifted toward IVF as the primary tool for rapid genetic progress, IGT met the moment. We executed a strategic expansion, investing heavily in high-end laboratory resources and specialized talent to ensure high-volume production without compromising quality.
We transitioned into our current state-of-the-art laboratory and headquarters - a specialized hub designed to support the continued growth of our business and our customers. At IGT, our future is built on a simple, powerful promise: to merge cutting-edge technology with unwavering customer focus. We remain dedicated to helping you unlock the full genetic potential of your herd through excellence and innovation.
