An Overview.
Whilst artificial insemination is not always the cheapest
option, there is a general agreement that it possesses a number of
distinct advantages over natural breeding. The main advantage is that
the best stallion for your mare can be used irrespective of location.
Mares that cannot travel or have a foal at foot, or mares with an
injury not detrimental to foaling but that prevents them from
supporting a natural covering can all benefit from AI. More importantly
the use of AI can prevent the transmission of infection and lessen the
risk of injury to both the stallion and the mare.When using chilled
semen constant contact with the stallion owner is of great importance
as this helps ensure that the semen arrives with the mare for
insemination at the optimum time.By making chilled semen available from
a stallion it is possible for a stud to make their stallion accessible
to mares based some distance from them.So a stallion in Tamworth,NSW
can provide semen for a mare in Northam,WA on the day of
collection!Before despatching chilled semen it is essential that the
quality of the semen is checked by personnel familiar with semen
handling. Mare management is more intensive than with live-cover but
results (should be) better.For many mare owners the use of chilled or
frozen semen can open up a whole new genetic base not previously
available to them,helping to improve their existing stock. In some of
the minority breeds where there are very few stallions available to
choose from, the use of imported semen becomes an option which requires
careful consideration.
Services we offer:
*Stallion semen collection for test chill/freeze, collect for
chill/ship locally or interstate. As AGWA licensed and approved
inseminators and semen collectors,we are able to stand outside
stallions on our property in safe, positive environments specific to
your stallions requirements. We can also train your stallion to be
collected via an AV and tested for chilled/transported semen. Our well
equipped laboratory, separate AV filling area and enclosed/climate
controlled insemination areas ensure only semen of the highest quality
is dispatched to your mare owners. We have couriers travelling to and
from Perth Airport twice daily. Collection days for chilling/shipping
are usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
*Mare preparation for insemination with chilled/shipped semen, frozen semen and van service. Foaling down and management of high risk mare pregnancies. Regular 'hands on' seminars on all apects of horse breeding.With 20 years experience in breeding horses and 10 years intensive training
and experience in Artificial Breeding, we have developed a series of techniques
and protocols that ensure even the most difficult mares have good chance of
getting in foal via live cover, chilled/shipped semen or frozen semen. A success
rate of 100% pregnant within 3 cycles and an average of 1.1 breeds per pregnancy
is equal to or above industry standard. Working with some of the best Equine
Reproduction Vets, we can prepare your mare for breeding to a local stallion. If
your mares require chilled or frozen insemination using an eastern states based
or overseas stallion, we can prepare the mare for insemination by your vet or
ourselves.
As we are constantly updating and improving skills through local and overseas
training, both stallion and mare owners can be assured every effort is being
made to achieve a pregnancy AND a live foal.
