Porcine Ovaries
SSR supplies porcine ovaries, also known as pig ovaries or pork ovaries, for reproductive research, hormone-related studies, life-science research, product development, and further-manufacturing programs.
Materials are sourced through SSR’s porcine supply programs and can be prepared, packaged, and delivered to customer specifications. Porcine ovaries can be collected at different stages of the reproductive cycle and supplied for programs requiring defined preparation, preservation, packaging, documentation, or traceability.
Common Applications for Porcine Ovaries
- Reproductive physiology and fertility research
- Ovarian function and follicular development studies
- Hormone-related research involving estrogen and progesterone
- Life-science and biomedical research using porcine ovarian tissue
- Reproductive biology and product-development programs
- Further-manufacturing inputs where porcine ovaries are an appropriate starting material
- Custom porcine tissue programs requiring specific collection, preparation, packaging, or traceability

Porcine Ovaries FAQ’s
What are porcine ovaries?
Porcine ovaries are reproductive organs sourced from pigs and may also be referred to as pig ovaries or pork ovaries. They produce oocytes, or egg cells, along with reproductive hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Porcine ovarian tissue can be used in reproductive biology, fertility, hormone, and other life-science research.
Do you supply pig ovaries in bulk?
Yes. SSR can support quantities ranging from smaller research needs to larger recurring supply programs. SSR does not have a standard minimum order quantity, allowing programs to be developed around the material volume and specifications required by the customer.
Can porcine ovaries be collected at specific stages of the reproductive cycle?
Yes. SSR states that porcine ovaries can be collected at various stages of the reproductive cycle. Collection requirements can be discussed based on the needs of the research or development program.
Can SSR provide traceability for porcine ovaries?
Yes. SSR’s porcine materials are supported by established sourcing and traceability programs. SSR states that its operations follow ISO, GMP, SOP, SSOP, and HACCP protocols, with sourcing from PQA+ certified suppliers.
What is the lead time?
SSR Resources lists 5-7 days for established products that do not require development; confirm the current porcine pancreas lead time before publishing.
