Bone Marrow

Bone marrow is a good source of stem cells.  A veterinary surgeon can take a bone marrow sample from the sternum of an injured horse under standing sedation and local anaesthetic.

The stem cells are extracted and multiplied at VetCell’s laboratories before being returned to the veterinary surgeon for implantation directly into the core of the lesion.

VetCell also offers training to veterinary surgeons in the practical techniques of bone marrow extraction and stem cell implantation.
