Ensuring High-Quality Bovine Materials for the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries
Safeguards are in place to maintain cattle health and prevent the introduction of transmissible diseases, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prions to medical devices made with bovine-derived xenographic materials. These safeguards include geographic location and validation protocols. At Prather Ranch, we take pride in our Closed Herd, which was established to minimize Geographic BSE Risk (GBR) for the medical and pharmaceutical industry. The primary cattle herd has been closed on the maternal side since 1975, and a breeding program has been developed to maintain a healthy and disease-free herd. The cows are artificially inseminated with semen from registered bulls and backed up by ranch-raised bulls chosen from the closed herd. Our Closed Herd ensures customers receive compliant bovine materials free from contamination.

Bovine collagen stands out for its excellent biocompatibility and safety, attributed to its weak antigenicity and biodegradability. Recognized as a prime material for medical applications, bovine collagen based biomaterials offer a wide range of uses both in vivo and in vitro. With our closed herd ensuring the highest standards of quality and purity, Prather Ranch provides you with a trusted solution for your medical bovine collagen needs.
