Semen Chilled or Fresh Services
Chilled semen is best inseminated within 24 hours of collection.
It is important to inseminate as near to ovulation as possible. Ultrasound examination is therefore required daily once the mare is ready to ovulate. Scanning provides a forecast of when the mare is likely to ovulate so that we can ensure she is inseminated at optimum time.
Mare Management
Our mare reproductive management is offered as a package that includes daily teasing and management of your mare to identify correct timing of insemination. We contact the stallion owner for you if ordering chilled semen, and keep them appraised of your mare's status. We evaluate all shipments of semen that we receive for your mare and provide you with timely information on your mare's breeding status.
We offer services from selecting the right stallion or mare, through to artificial insemination . We also offer a foaling service to help deliver your foal.
