Viagen adds two decades of expertise in assisted reproduction, cryopreservation, and biobanking\u2014capabilities that have supported work with threatened and endangered animals. Colossal says the integration will expand its <a href=\"https:\/\/colossalfoundation.org\/project\/species-biobank\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BioVaults<\/a> initiative, strengthen genetic-diversity programs, and speed the development of practical conservation tools. Viagen will continue operating its pet, equine, and livestock services while contributing methods and protocols to Colossal\u2019s research pipeline. Leadership frames the deal as a strategic step toward building a global infrastructure that safeguards at-risk species today and supports future population recovery efforts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"553\" data-end=\"1402\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmagazine.com\/business-economy\/2025\/11\/colossal-biosciences-acquires-austin-based-viagen-pets-and-equine\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.dmagazine.com\/business-economy\/2025\/11\/colossal-biosciences-acquires-austin-based-viagen-pets-and-equine\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"keyword-surfer\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-[6px]\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colossal Biosciences has completed its first acquisition, bringing Austin-based Viagen Pets &amp; Equine into the company to accelerate species-preservation efforts.
