Abstract
A method for extracting blood from animal fetus includes securing a placenta of an animal against a substantially planar face, the first face being disposed at an angle in a range between about 45° to about 110° relative to the horizontal. The placenta is massaged against the first face so that at least a portion of the blood within the placenta flows out of the placenta through an umbilical cord and into the animal fetus. The animal fetus is then suspended. At least a portion of the blood within the animal fetus is then drained from the fetus into a container.
