The Health and Scientific Advisory Committee of the International Embryo Transfer Society is an advisory Committee, technically specialist in reproductive biotechnologies, animal health and food safety. It responds to the IETS members' questions and requests for advice related to those matters both at a national and international level. It submits recommendations based on current scientific knowledge to the IETS Board of Governors (the Board) to further provide guidance and advice to international Agencies, such as those of the United Nations or of the Office International des Epizooties.

The Companion Animals, Non-Domestic and Endangered Species (CANDES) of the International Embryo Transfer Society is an advisory committee, technically specialized in comparative reproductive physiologies and the application of reproductive biotechnologies in companion animals (including cats, dogs, birds, amphibian, reptiles, fish and invertebrates and excluding domestic horses), non-domestic species (including farmed animals such as buffalo, cervids, camelids, ratites and canids, in addition to a diverse array of zoo animals) as well as their endangered species counterparts. It will provide a unique and valuable resource to the IETS membership and will respond to their questions and requests for advice related to those matters both at a national and international level. It will submit recommendations based on current scientific knowledge to the IETS Board of Governors to further provide guidance and advice to international governmental regulatory agencies, recognized animal specialty groups and organized conservation programs, such as those of regional zoo associations as well as the World Conservation Union (IUCN) by direct liaison with the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, Species Survival Commission.
