Today's breeding technology provides horse owners with more options than were available in the past. Artificial insemination and semen preservation techniques make it possible to ship stallion semen to mares nearly anywhere in the country. Success with transported semen will depend on the careful reproductive management of both stallion and mare. Only three registries do not currently allow AI: Thoroughbred, Miniature Horse, and Standard Jack and Jennet Registry.

Thirdly, you need to also evaluate your mare and her abilities to create the offspring you are looking for. Have you researched her pedigree? What are her strengths? What are her weaknesses? What do you hope she passes on? What do you hope she DOESN'T pass on? Perhaps a good second opinion of a more experienced breeder may help you with this.

Breezeway Farm welcomes mare-owners who are new to this breeding business. Don't be intimidated. We were all new at it once upon a time. We are a small breeding farm and stand only one stallion at the present time. We try to limit our outside mares so that each one gets enough special attention from us - and from Medicine Man ! -- to assure that she gets in foal. Feel free to ask questions and to come by to inspect our facility.

The costs involved in breeding your mare with artificial insemination can vary greatly. To give you a basis to make your decision on lets begin with a few basic premises. First..let's consider the cost of your vet's farm call. These usually run anywhere from $35 to $100 depending on drive time, distance, whether it's during office hours and whether or not it's during the work week. Keep in mind that a mare's ovulation is not something you can always control though it can be helped along.

Unlike fresh semen, which can live in the reproductive tract of a bitch for 5-7 days, frozen semen will only live 12-20 hours once thawed. It must preserve all it's energy to penetrate and fertilize the eggs, so the best conception rates (90% in our practice) are achieved with surgical insemination, where the semen is injected directly into the uterine horn. Since vaginal insemination has statistically low conception rates (under 20%), we do not suggest using your valuable semen in this fashion.

Begin with a veterinary examination of the mare to be bred. The process of getting a mare ready to breed starts a few months before by getting the mare into good health. She should have a good weight for her size and be up to date on shots and worming. Skinny mares are harder to get in foal, so if you can see her ribs, get her on a good feeding program right away! Have your vet do a pre-breed examination of the mare to see if any special cultures would be in order.

If there are, we haven't noticed any. For most breeders the process is easy, clean, safe and economical. The most important person in the process is your vet. They are responsible to determine when to breed and when the mare needs a little help in the breeding process. The more experience they have with shipped semen, the better. It depends. We have structured our contract to help keep the costs lower.

The acronym ANKC stands for the Australian National Kennel Council. The ANKC comprises all the Australian states/territories Kennel Controls. All Kennel Control canine matters and systems are developed and standardised under the auspices of the ANKC. As part of that Council, the states/territories have agreed to a common system of procedures to ensure correct and verified use of semen when breeding using methods of artificial insemination, for registration of dogs in Australia.

First of all, it's a good idea not to try to breed a guinea pig until you have found some responsible people who would like one of the offspring as a pet. Pet stores often treat small animals very irresponsibly, and you don't want to bring guinea pigs into the world that aren't wanted or will be mistreated. That in mind, there are a few guidelines. A female should not be bred until she weighs 500 g, or is 4-5 months old. Also, no older female should ever have a first litter.

The breeding of Friesians is strictly regulated and you have to make yourself aware of the rules and procedures involved. Information about this can be found by selecting the downloads button. If you want to breed, you have to ensure that the horse is registered with the AFHS and the KFPS. You need to ask to see the papers, which are issued by the KFPS. The AFHS can verify that the horse is registered as well. On the papers it will have information about the register the horse is recorded in.

All of the studs we use have very high standards for the quality of the semen they supply. Your vet will examine the quality of the semen when it arrives. In the unlikely event that there is a problem with the quality of the semen your vet should inform us immediately, and we will arrange for a replacement dose.

The insemination method is up to the recipient. Artificial Insemination that can be done at home is the IVI (Intravaginal insemination) method which was used by my first recipient at her home and inducing an orgasm afterwards after each insemination with positive results and is the method I have used on all the others I have helped. Other methods MUST BE doctor assisted at a clinic such as ICI (Intracervical insemination), IUI (Intrauterine insemination) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

Equine influenza (EI) is an acute, highly contagious, viral disease which can cause rapidly spreading outbreaks of respiratory disease in horses, donkeys, mules and other equine species. EI would have a major impact on the Australian horse industry if it were to become established here. The disease is not generally fatal to horses however, fatalities may occur especially in old or infirm horses and young foals.

The United States Department of Agriculture required that any equine being permanently exported overseas must spend a 30 day period in an approved isolation facility which meets federal standards regarding space, sanitation and proximity to other animals. The United States governments requirements for maintaining the integrity of the isolation are very specific and stringent. The facility is subject to unannounced inspection by the USDA personnel at any time during the isolation period.

The requirements vary from country to country and also are affected by any animal health issues that are relevant at the time. Requirements also vary according to the equine's gender and age. Generally, during your equine's isolation period, there will be a Coggins test and additional blood work. All test results are sent to the USDA office for approval prior to the completion of the isolation period.

Bring the semen sample in a container that has a secure lid (e.g. film container, baby food jar, medicine container, etc.). Do not bring the sample in a condom or plastic bag. Do not refrigerate the specimen. You do not need to schedule an appointment to drop off your specimen; but please call to ensure that someone is in the office to receive and process your specimen. Do not leave your specimen in the hall outside the office.

LNG is transported in double-hulled ships specifically designed to handle the low temperature of LNG. These carriers are insulated to limit the amount of LNG that boils off or evaporates. This boil off gas is sometimes used to supplement fuel for the carriers. LNG carriers are up to 1000 feet long, and require a minimum water depth of 40 feet when fully loaded. There are currently 136 ships which transport more than 120 million metric tons of LNG every year.

Michele’s transfer rate is around 3% and her c-section rate is around 1.5%. The most common reason for transport during labor is when the mother’s dilation is not progressing and she is becoming exhausted. Once the decision has been made to transfer, Michele will notify the hospital, and will accompany the mother to the hospital to serve as doula for the mother and family until the baby is born. She will provide the hospital personnel with a copy of prenatal and labor records.

You can use the crossbreed check to look up acceptable crosses. Go to your stable and click the crossbreed link in the right menu and select the stallion and mare breeds, then click the 'check' button.

CheckMate is not just a quick and easy way to identify a suspicious stain. This highly specialized product is also designed to provide conclusive evidence that any semen present in the undergarment did not come from the man performing the test. CM178 Checkmate Semen Detection Kit $49.95 - Qty:

Each dose of semen is supplied with identification marks of the stallion's name, the reference numbers for when the semen was collected and the EU collection centre number. Your vet will compare this information with the information supplied on the health certificate accompanying the dose signed by the vet who processed the semen at the stud to ensure that the semen is from the correct stallion.

Artificial insemination is now more commonly referred to as,IUI, Intrauterine insemination. It is a procedure used for couples with unexplained infertility, minimal male factor infertility, and women with cervical mucus problems. It is a procedure of using the husband's or donor sperm, washing and treating the sperm and injecting it into the woman during the time of ovulation. IUI

These students are said to live "remote from school".

If you have not completed registration forms you will first be asked to do so. Upon checking in at the front desk you will complete the "chain of custody" form.

Specimens that require the ultra-low temperatures of liquid nitrogen can be transported in IATA-approved Cryo-shippers. Please contact us for further information.

Right now, preference for the placement of breeding stock is being given to established breeders of one of the outcross breeds for the Selkirk Rex: Selkirks are still only just a few generations away from their domestic roots, so the breed is very hardy. We are attempting to bring in as many different lines of outcrosses as possible, in order to give ourselves a large gene pool from which to build this breed.

Semen analysis generally refers to a sperm count and motility check only, this is used for diagnosis of fertility. Semen Cytology is a brand new term which describes fertility diagnosis and advanced testing of the other components in semen, similar to a PAP smeer in women.
