Reproduction

EquineReproduction

We offer a full range of reproductive work to our clients. This includes mare work to prepare for breeding as well as to determine and treat the cause of decreased fertility. We will advise you on programs to enhance fertility, such as lights and hormonal regulation. We offer full A.I services with both cooled and frozen semen. Dr. Douglas will consult with the mare owner in the clinic initially to inform you regarding all the costs and procedures involved and also how to be sure your mare is a good candidate for A.I. The A.I. will be carried out at the owners farm, the stallion facility, or in certain cases at Dr. Douglas’ farm. For Frozen A.I., the mare must be examined up to three times the day of insemination to insure proper timing. We have a detailed sheet at the clinic regarding costs and would be pleased to send it to you. We can arrange for your stallion to have phantom training and semen analysis locally. A good web site to know about with numerous links is Equine-Reproduction.com Please book a consultation with Dr. Douglas at the clinic or farm to discuss reproductive services. Remember, the best time to have your mare ultrasounded is at 16 days after breeding when twins can be detected.
