INSEMINATION WITH FROZEN SEMEN
ABOUT THE SERVICE
Artificial insemination opens up new possibilities in breeding. In the case of insemination with frozen semen the straws are stored in liquid nitrogen. Frozen-thawed semen has limited viability, so proper timing of insemination is required. Many sporthorses are exclusively accessible through frozen semen, often attributed to their active competition careers or the desire to breed from deceased stallions. This method proves ideal for breeders seeking a single offspring from a donor mare or those prioritizing the mare’s pregnancy success. We are monitoring the mare’s cycle every 6 hours to be as close to the ovulation as possible.
Our platform offers a diverse selection of stallions available for insemination with frozen semen, ensuring a wide range of options to suit your preferences.
