INSEMINATION WITH FRESH SEMEN
ABOUT THE SERVICE
Artificial insemination opens up new possibilities in breeding. Insemination with fresh semen involves the introduction of recently collected and untreated sperm into the mare’s reproductive tract, typically maximizing fertility during the current estrus cycle. The clinic does not facilitate the acquisition of fresh sperm on an individual basis. Therefore, should you desire to pursue this method of insemination, it will be necessary for you to make the needed arrangements independently.
ARRIVAL CONDITIONS
We can welcome horses to our equine reproductive facility if the following conditions are met:
due to the time-sensitive nature of the process, the client must coordinate the timely importation of fresh semen with the studfarm. Delays in collection or transport can result in missed breeding cycles and the wastage of valuable semen.
We can welcome horses to our equine reproductive facility if we receive the horses:
│ with a valid equine passport of the animal

In order to send the semen for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), TRACES document is required, the conditions for which are:
│ 2 negative CEM results, with a minimum of 7 days must elapsed between the two samples, results valid for 1 year /OR 1 negative CEM PCR result/,
│ negative result of infectious anaemia (EIA) test within 90 days.
