We are a production company specializing in broadcast quality biotechnology teaching and training videos/DVDs. Our productions are geared to deliver economically important technical and procedural information to the viewers. The information contained in the productions is pertinent, very detailed and clear, not vague. Our authors and presenters are widely recognized in the scientific community and animal industry as world-renowned experts in their respective fields. Our executive producer, Dr. Brad Stroud, a veterinary specialist in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), selects topics for production consideration. The need to disseminate critical information to target audiences is the key to initiating a production title.

Research in the biotechnology sector creates commercial opportunities for the animal and medical industries. Progressive and forward thinking industry professionals are the first to have hands-on experience with new technological breakthroughs. They, via years of experience, become extremely knowledgeable in the details that lead to the successful implementation of those technologies in the field. Unfortunately, many end-users of biotech services and products, including budding professionals and graduating students about to enter the marketplace, have few meaningful real-life experiences. Only a few can “rub shoulders” with the worlds top producers, doctors, and researchers and gain that knowledge first hand.

The objective at BioTech Productions is to use the power of video and DVD to bridge the gap between green horns and the world’s leading professionals in the areas of research and applied biotech sciences. Absorbing knowledge and experience that has taken years, and in some cases decades, to acquire is an invaluable asset to anyone entering the field of biotechnology, whether as a producer or a service professional. In about an hour, a viewer will gain an immense amount of knowledge and detail about a specific topic in the field of biotechnology. That’s called adding value to one’s resume. Be it for an end user of biotechnology, such as an animal breeder, or for one entering one of the many service areas of the emerging Biotechnology Revolution, viewers will be enriched by the productions.
