Whilst
artificial insemination is not a cheap option there is a general
agreement that it possesses a number of distinct advantages over
natural breeding. The main advantage is that the best stallion for your
mare can be used irrespective of location. Progressive breeders like to
make full use of sires that have proven themselves able to pass on
desirable characteristics to their progeny. Mares that cannot travel or
have a foal at foot, or mares with an injury not detrimental to foaling
but that prevents them from supporting a natural covering can all
benefit from AI. More importantly the use of AI can prevent the
transmission of infection and lessen the risk of injury to both the
stallion and the mare.
Monitoring the mare whilst she is in season is vital to ensure that the insemination is timed correctly. When using chilled semen constant contact with the stallion owner is of great importance as this helps ensure that the semen arrives with the mare for insemination at the optimum time.
By making chilled semen available from a stallion it is possible for the stud to make their stallion accessible to mares based some distance from them.
So a stallion in Tamworth,NSW can provide semen for a mare in Northam,WA!
Before despatching chilled semen it is essential that the quality of the semen is checked by persons trained in and familiar with semen handling techniques to obtain best results.
For many mare owners the use of chilled or frozen semen can open up a whole new genetic base not previously available to them,helping to improve their existing stock. In some of the minority breeds where there are very few stallions available to choose from the use of imported semen becomes an option which requires careful consideration.
When completed, this site will contain information about all aspects of horse breeding and be relevant to mare and stallion owners.Thank you for your patience.
