WHAT IS EMBRYO TRANSFER?
  • The embryo transfer procedure allows breeding from mares without interrupting their training by using a surrogate mare to carry the foal. This efficient process also allows the mare to produce more than one foal per breeding season.
  • Breeding, although expensive, can be very rewarding especially when the resulting progeny excel in their particular equine discipline. Unfortunately in many cases bloodlines are poorly chosen and breeders are disappointed. The most common reason for this is that too many mares are put in foal because they have no other use, rather than for their outstanding qualities.
  • High class proven horses are extremely valuable and difficult to find. Due to pressures of competing, top quality mares are not usually sent to stud until very late in their lives. Embryo transfer enables these mares to reproduce and continue their careers, without the risks associated with pregnancy. Furthermore an owner can take embryos out of a valuable competing mare and then sell her at prime without losing her bloodlines.
  • High-class brood mares can also be considered as more than one foal can be produced in a season. In addition embryo transfer can be used to overcome uterus based infertility problems sometimes associated with the uterus.
  • This technique can be used in many types of equine disciplines such as:
ARABS - DRESSAGE -  EVENTING - SHOW JUMPING -  SHOWING - POLO -  ENDURANCE
